After all of this rain your garden will be growing wildly, your soil is full of moisture helping your plants grow. However come Autumn and Winter which are notoriously drier months of the year you need to retain the moisture in your garden soil. To do this add a 100mm thick mulch over your garden this will protect your plants water source through the drier months and ensure they are ready to grow strongly come Spring. It is always a good idea to add some nutrients to your soil before winter so add a slow release fertilizer before mulching to give them the nutrients they require for Spring.
Remember to water your plants regularly as per your local Nurseries instructions (and council regulations). Mulch will significantly reduce the amount of water you use in your garden, but it will not make your plants drought proof. See your local landscape supplier or Nursery to get expert advice for your specific garden.
Happy gardening :)
