Q.Backyard next to a pond
I want to do do some edible gardening in my backyard. Will it attract snakes??

A garden won't necessarily attract snakes. If you have snakes in your area they may be found in your garden, but they may be there to help you by eating pests, insects and other rodents.
Here are some articles that have more information.
