Watering Vegetables In Containers

It is finally springtime here in the southern hemisphere, and my
first year of gardening.
I live in a fairly humid environment, but with strong sunshine.
So I am wondering what would be a good watering schedule for
vegetables in containers (kept outdoors.)
In 10-litre (2.5 gal) buckets, I have broccoli, spinach, lettuce,
zuccini, and capsicum (bell pepper.)
I may also add couliflour, and a few others in similar-sized
containers.
There are also some tomato plants, which will go into 20-litre (5
gal) buckets this weekend.
So I am looking for advice on watering schedules???
When mature, I heavily watered my container grown tomatoes and peppers daily
adding enough water so it was visible in the pot base. In the summer, it is
very humid here too.
