Maybe you're in the wrong zone. What zone are you in? I'm 7+/8 more or less not counting the 500 year drought we have. If I were to 'grow' something I would lose my water hookup and get fined $2500. My county even wants to put meters on wells that homeowners use to get water up out of their own ground.
See the problem is that water usage, is not, no matter how many PSAs they throw up on the tv, a personal problem. It's a regional problem, always is. Look at LA - it gets its water from hundreds of miles away in the mountains where the people there can't even legally get access to the water that runs through or under their property.
Personal gardens are simply not an efficient use of what water people have.
