Plenty of good recommendations here so I'll just skip to advice on possible issues when growing a garden. When I was growing up as a child we had a garden every year and in the neighborhood we never had a single issue with rabbits or deers. I live about 30 miles away from where I grew up and I have to take steps to protect my plants from deers and squirrels. Deers will eat many of the plants new growth and especially flowers. What I do to keep them away is mix a 2 gallon pump spray with water, few table spoons of ghost pepper sauce, mint oil, and squeeze a few garlic cloves. Spray the plants once a week and after any time it rains. That will keep them from eating the plants. Another tip is to try and watering the plants by spraying them. Even though it usually doesn't matter early in the season there are times later in the growing season when it can cause issues spreading mold and fungus spores on the underside of the leaves. When the nights get a little cooler the plant leaves will develop condensation and that's when the issues can start occuring. Keeping the plants staked and properly spaced and pruned to keep good airflow will go a long way to keep plants healthy.
