potted garden, strawberries, fennel, basil........

I just got some strawberries, fennel, and basil. I have grown stuff before, but its been a while. The last time I had stawberries I was a kid. My husband says they need lots of water, is that true or will I just drown them? They are all from seed and will be in pots. Also, what do I feed them? Do I need to feed them? The packets mostly tell culinary and medicinal uses.
