Vegetable garden
Begin with started plants, consistent, deep watering once a week and mulch.
Flowerbeds
Plant long-blooming perennials, deadhead daily, and cover ground with short perennials like creeping thyme or phlox and they will act as mulch.
Weed and pest control
Weed when wet, deal with young dandelions, and plant pest and disease resistant plants.

Leave the clippings on the grass, cut high and bag the leaves in the fall.
