No garden here. Back yard is too shady on one side, and too close to the sidewalk/street on the other. And I don't really feel like working that hard just to feed the stray cat, rabbit and groundhogs.
I've tomatoes, mint and basil plus a fern, rose bush and jade plant on my balcony. I have to keep my growing stuff small and concentrated in one area, on top of my outdoor table which has a metal cage over the plants. Squirrels are a problem here in the summer, they get soooo thirsty that they go for any plants with moisture. Little bastards love to scoop out the innards of tomatoes and leave the shriveled bits behind.
Congratulations on the asparagus! We have a bed too and it is great to just run out and pick it for dinner. We are also growing a bunch of heirloom tomatoes, carrots, peppers, and various squash and melons. I have a bed of fancy petunias that I hope the moles stay out of, but we'll see about that.
before we got the higher fence up the deer ate my veggies, they hollowed out the pumpkins leaving just the outsides darn things.
we do have birds and field mice who love my strawberries, so we have a net over the top and traps inside.
We put three of those plastic owls on the posts around the garden and it has really helped keeping birds etc away. One hoots and moves its head at motion, so we had to move that to an outer post as it was driving my puppies crazy, when they walked by it scared them! LOL
