I've never watered them at all after initially watering the pot. Wouldn't
even consider it unless for some reason there was no precipitation at all for
months or there was no precipitation as the expected time of germination
approached, or the weather turned unexpected hot at that point. Don't see
that they need to be micromanaged in that way, and doubt that such finesse
would impact the situation markedly. Believe that with nature we are dealing
with broader patterns, really. You do need to keep an eye on things once they
start germinating, though. If they dry out at that critical point you can
surely loose them.
