Rain and overwatering

[quitebuttery]

I've read people saying that overwatering is one of the biggest dangers to the plant, but without any specifics. I realize that it will vary from case to case, but they are predicting rain almost everyday this week in my area. Should I be concerned about overwatering for my 3 week old plant?

It might help to know that it has hardly rained here for the past two weeks.

if it's in a pot, maybe worry. in the ground: unless it is in a natural depression, i wouldn't worry too much. I have learned, they are troopers.

probably not but drainage is the key. outdoor plants tend to be heartier than indoors but still need good drainage for healthy roots.
