Watering, am I over watering?

I planted impatiens and begonias 2 weeks ago. Do I need to water them daily until the end of the season or just for a month or so? Last year my impatiens did not bloom as much as they got foliage...too much watering?

Watering, am I over watering?
Check the soil to see if it needs water. Use a moisture meter and stick it an inch or so into the ground or use your finger and check the soil in different areas about an inch down. If it is dry then water. Over-watering will kill them just like under-watering will. They are annuals (I assume - don't know where you are) so they will need more water than perennials (shallower roots) however you can still overdo it. Occasionally checking the soil is your best bet.
Reply:When you first plant them you should water them a lot. After they start to get fuller you should water them once or twice a week. If you add plant food it should help them grow full. There pretty easy you should be fine. Good luck.
Reply:Are you fertilizing when you're watering? If so, you might be using the wrong kind of fertilizer. Try switching to a blooming plant food (the ratio of N P and K are different than the regular kind. ) I would cut back on watering as much. If you have fast draing ing soil (like sand or something really loamy) try watering every other day. something slower draining...every two - three days..and cut back on watering when it rains.
