Darthclem's Viva Piñata Garden

I took Ebin Flow's advice and restarted my garden.  I was about level 10 at the time and my garden was nothing but a big cage match to the death.  I was spending all my time either trying to break up fights or healing my creatures.

When I restarted, I had all the tools and resources available to me that I'd already earned, as well as my bankroll that I had earned so far.  So that was nice.  I've set aside a big patch of my garden just for harvesting chili peppers.  It's a fast growing veggie with close to a 5:1 return on investment.  I have almost 20K in the bank and I have living quarters on the grounds for my sprinkler helper and my harvester helper.

Now, I really need to clock some serious time going through the encyclopedia to figure out what sort of piñata food chain I need to create to attract and breed some cooler animals.
