The more deeply you water, the less often you need to water as a rule of thumb. Just keep an eye on the plants and they will tell you everything you need to know! If you begin to see wilted plants, brown spots on new leaves, low leaves turning yellow and falling off and/or stunted growth you are probably overwatering. Watering is more of an art than a science because there are so many variables. No worries though -- soon you will get a feel for what YOUR garden needs.
