I can't quantify all of my usage but I can tell you that I've managed to get two months on my water bill showing that I hadn't tripped the 1000 gallons mark. Usually I get two months in a row showing I've used 1000 gallons that month, then an off month where I didn't trip the electric meter clicker that tells the water utility I've used another thousand.

In the summer last year I've used 3000 gallons so apparently I've used over 2000 gallons pouring water on the ground to grow food. I think 3000 gallons is my highest bill and there are probably just a couple of bills in the past two years that hit 2000 gallons. I think I've done a calculation that I use about 600 gallons a month when I'm being careful and not pouring it on the ground.
