I live in the boondocks and they own the entire 7 acres, but no matter, I cant plant anything because the deer eat everything in sight the groundhogs eat what isnt in sight.
I *did* have some problems in the suburbs with my rose gardens.
One location was near a creek, and they seem to know how to cross the street.
The other location was easier to deal with.
Snakes disappeared here after a few years. Maybe because I cleared a lot of brush that was their habitat.

He must be from the Lotus Sutra.
Quote the Buddha:
In order to save living beings, I appear to die.
When people think that I have passed into extinction, they offer alms and harbor thoughts of yearning.
For if they see me constantly,
