Not easy to answer that question.

Rule of thumb, if it is wilting it needs water.

You might want to consider hand water for those plants that wilt quickly. Drip systems should be run about once a week if there is no rain or if the rain is light. Overwatering can be a problem for some plants, but, as new as everything is - every other day with the drip should not create problems. Then cut back to once a week about 2 months after the the original planting date.
