(the old one you may remember has too much water, whichIt sounds as if you're blessed with low areas with some water flow underground. In the area I originally chose for my garden, at the highest point on the property (it was convenient and never flooded), everything required watering every few days (with the usual lack of rain). When I planted a summer crop in the area downhill from the seasonal spring flow, further down the hill, it hardly ever did, even though it was the water-loving yacon (Polymnia sonchifolia). I wish that every piece of ground was similarly blessed, for you could just create raised beds, but I don't think it's possible for every point to be a low spot.
of course can't be true since this is California <g>).
