The tomatoes and peppers we'll be growing from transplants starting next month (like my chart told me to), but here is everything else, neatly planted and labeled in their square foot of space.
To protect my pride and joy from squirrels/rabbits/opossums/mice, I fenced it in with some chicken wire. Only cut myself twice! I'm particularly proud of the fence. It seems so handy of me. I also sprinkled cayenne and pepper around the edges because I've heard that helps too.
As of today, the cilantro and broccoli were sprouting!! Despite the fact that my container plants have failed in the past, I seem to be a natural at in-the-ground gardening.

Your garden looks lovely!!!
And that fence looks fantastic! It look like nothin' will be getting in! I just have one question... how do you get inside? haha
I've cut some holes in the chicken wire and those are attached to hooks on the tall metal rods and the shorter posts that the string dividers are tied around. It's got a twist tie to join it at the bottom where the beginning and end meet. Basically I can undo the twist tie and then unpeel it. And it's only 2 feet high so I might (for a little while longer anyways ;) ) be able to reach in for some things.
