I water as the plants need it, Bahamut! If we get a nice steady,soaking rain, I only water my flowers in the window box on the Shed porch because they don't get the rain, but all the others do. If it's really hot and dry, I may 'deep' water things once or twice in the week. Plants in containers dry out quickly and get watered daily for the most part.
If trees and shrubs are new, they get regular deep watering once/week or every 10 days or so for their first year or two. I tend to go with pretty low maintenance and native plants so I don't do a lot of extra watering and fussing.
