But the little bit of "yard" we have in front is mostly landscaped, cared for by a team the condo association hires. And the land out back is common area - not for planting.

I am ok with bugs, as long as they don't eat the veggies, but I do not like encountering snakes hiding in the garden, even if they are "good snakes"!
