A lot less time and effort if you don’t water
All I’m watering is my tame blackberries.
Same here. Watering now is focused on keeping strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries alive for next year’s crop. I’m also water the jalapeño, bell, and banana pepper plants which are still producing. Tomatoes, cucumbers, and cantaloupe are basically done and burning-up.
Tomato plants in bloom now probably won’t ripen but fried green tomatoes or tomatoes on the grill is one of our favorite foods.
We visited the farmers markets in Colorado every week to buy a couple green heirloom tomatoes to cook.

I've quit picking okra and just let the pods mature out and save the seeds. Still have sweet potatoes in the ground if the fire ants haven't chewed holes all over them.
Might get enough rain to soften the ground to dig.
But I'm on night number 2 pulling night shift sitting with my Dad that had hip surgery today. Don't get much done trying to catch a little sleep in the day time.

Hope it’s successful and he recovers completely.
Last years garden went into compost pile. Had plenty of tomatoes canned from last year. Only planted a couple this year for eating. Used compost for planting and OMG. had about 30 plants sprout up everywhere. Canned, peeled and froze, ate, gave away many, and finally pulled all green (which will ripen slowly) then pulled plants. Saved many seeds and then put plants in burn pile this year.
