Bulbs in pots on porch - do I need to water them regularly?

Dallas, GA(Zone 7b)

Hi all-
Somebody else asked a similar questions, but I don't recall seeing an answer.
I have planted pots of bults (tulips, daffs, crocuses, etc.) and have put them on an unheated porch. Of course I watered after planting. But do I need to water them on a regular basis between now and the time they come up? Would it be better to put them alongside a fence and cover up with mulch? Thanks in advance

You should check periodically to ascertain if they need water... if dry, water.
If I elected to do your second suggestion I'd still check periodically.
Be weary to overwatering as too much can be as fatal as too little.

I wouldn't let them go dry, they should be moist but never truly wet at all times. If you Tulips in particular will 'blast' the flowers (they won't bloom) if allowed to dry out.
