    If you want them to flower next year then the bulbs need to bulk up a bit so water them (and feed them) until the foliage dies down at which point you can forget about them until they start into growth again. Obviously don't leave them in an area that is going to be roasted in blazing hot sunshine but if "behind the shed" is shady, that will be fine. Or you could plant them out and they should come up year after year with no effort on your part.
