One simple way to save water when gardening is to mulch your soil - It reduces the temperature of the soil, retains water, decreases wind exposure to the soil around your plants and will also improve the dirt when it decomposes. Mulch about two inches deep with organic mulch, like straw, bark or wood chips, and your plants, not to mention your water bill, will be thanking you later.
