During the rainy weather we don't have to water our gardens! Right!

Well maybe.

You have to remember those plants under the eaves or in containersw on the patio. You need to occasionally check those plants for water even during our rain season.

During cold weather below freezing you also have to check for water. Here, it's evergreen plants that loose water out of their foliage during the freeze period and then have it evaporate during the daylight hours. In the nursery we check evergreens (plants that still have foliage, not just evergreen conifers) every 2-3 days when the weather drops below 30F. Forgetting to do this can cause a lot of frost damage.
