How do I keep cats out of a fruits and vegetable garden?

I would like to put in a fruit & veg garden to separate my neighbor & our back yard. But also need to keep the cats out of the garden.

Keeping cats out of the garden is a challenge, but here's a trick you may find helpful: slice and scatter citrus around the garden beds. Both dogs and cats dislike citrus. I did this once with sliced lemons in a bed of lemon balm I was trying to establish - worked beautifully and now the bed is so full of lemon balm, they don't even bother anymore.
Best wishes!
You can also sprinkle cayenne pepper or chili powder around. One sniff and they'll remember. May need to reapply.
