Oh, I see—I have the same problem in another garden, too. I actually only water my vegetable beds when necessary (so far, luckily, we’ve still had enough collected rainwater).
For the past few years, I’ve been using grass clippings as mulch on the beds, which helps reduce evaporation... I’ve become a big fan of it.
