Generally they will use some water overnight, but not as much as during
the day. If the soil is moist (under the surface) they should be fine.

Normally you should not need to water every day. Their roots go down
below the surface and that is what needs water. A little water every day
will only keep the top of the soil damp and may not be helping your plants
at all.

I find this stricture on watering at night to be problematic, since here
in Camelot it only rains after sundown.

Here it only rains after I have spent an hour or so watering everything.
