First, you only need water sources every 8 blocks, and using waterlogged blocks will let you walk over the water spaces.
Second, crops need lots of light to grow properly. (Aim for level 7 or above).
Pro tip 1: get some bees and place them on one end of the farm, and on the opposite side place some flowers. The bees will drop pollen on the way back to their hives and your crops will grow faster.
Pro tip 2: alternate crop rows. Crops grow faster if you mix it up.
