Grow tomatoes in cages. Place tomato cages in the back of the garden so they don't shade low-growing herbs. Caged and trellised tomatoes get more air and sunlight than do fruits left to trail on the ground. Plant marigolds to deter pests. Buy a flat of marigolds and intersperse them with herbs and crops.
Marigolds repel a variety of garden pests, including rabbits.
