I usually water when I plant them and then not again until green shoots pop-up. That means they have broken dormancy and need water, but not all that much. You probably have enough rain to take care of their needs.

I rarely even water mine in when I plant them Margie. I usually pop them into the ground at the beginning of autumn and our Scottish weather does the rest.

Did you plant them indoors in pots Margie?
I usually water them well when I pot them up and not again until the green shoots appear. Once the shoots appear water them more often.
