Green Thumb?

We decided to give my green thumb a test and start a garden on the back side of our garage.  Last fall, Bill built a tiered area for two decent sized gardens.  Our landscaper said it was a great area for a garden but our neighbor warned that the deer were going to love it.  I plan to put up a fence.  That should keep them out, right?

The higher tier has 8 more tomato plants, green, white and red onions, jalapenos, and 4 green peppers, 4 red peppers and 4 yellow banana pepper plants. 

To prep, we tilled in a couple bags of manure on each level as well as a large cube of peat moss.  The dirt used around the house is actually a pretty good mixture of manure and dirt to begin with so, it should be pretty hearty for the plants!
