It 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.
