Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comI planted new perennial garden early October. The first 8 or 9 days I watered every day, and then went to every other day. Last week we had our first frosts and I stopped watering. However, after the frosts, we have been receiving more warm weather. Should I continue watering, since we have not had any rain during that period?

Only if they are, actively, growing. If they are in the process of going dormant, then there will be no need. Make sure that the soil has a chance to dry out, completely, down to about 3 or 4 inches between waterings to avoid fungal and bacterial issues.
Here are some articles to help you to keep track of your soil conditions:
