To get seeds up, you have to keep the garden moist. Water with an impact-head sprinkler until seedlings all emerge. For a spring garden, you can probably get away with daily for a few minutes, summer gardens will need more.
After seedlings emerge, water with soaker hoses or other drip system. The best system (and most cost-effective one) that I've seen is sold locally by a man out of his house. His website is www.homegardenirrigation.com.
Spring & Fall garden - needs to be watered 2x a week
Summer garden (all but tomatoes, melons, cantalopes, butternut/hubbard/banana squash) - water 1x a week
Tomatoes, melons, cantalope, squash - water every 10 days to 2 weeks.
Fruit trees - water every 10 days to 2 weeks
