Before adding more plants, cover the soil. Use sheet-style layering on top of the soil: - compost - leaf litter - hardwood mulch No digging needed. This begins to: - hold moisture - soften rainfall impact - feed soil life - reduce stress in the system This one step changes a lot. Have you added mulch or compost on top of your beds this season?

I’ve got raised beds for my garden—I apply new organic soil every year. We leave the leaf litter where it lies in the fall, the toads and insects in our neighborhood love it (and need the shelter—I’ve taken pains to make our little suburban yard into a habitat). We still need to mulch our landscaped beds though!
