thing we grow are flowers on our deck and small area in the yard that is fenced in. We have had ground hogs living at the far end of our property in a tiny wooded area for at least twenty years. We also have many deer that come through our yard. They have been around thirty years-the entire time we have lived here. We live in a suburb, but there is a large wooded area across the street from us and a smaller area of woods in a field behind our house. Luckily the neighbors enjoy seeing the wildlife that visit our yards.
