I suggest that you:
1.  Increase the organic matter in the soil.
 
2.  Keep the garden mulched either by using organic matter from somewhere or grow green manure/cover crops.
 
3. Use drip irrigation.  If you have pressure water just purchase dripline and connect to the water line.  If you are without pressure water, I can tell you how to make a bucket drip irrigation system.
