Thanks all. They had not dried out. As soon as we dug them out they went into a bucket with water to keep the roots wet. Then I planted them a few hours later. I've kept them heavily watered, every day, even twice a day on a sunny day. I'm mulching with straw this year as I've read, but will then seed with grass next year.
They are summer bearing, so I know it is the 2nd year stems that produce.
I read through The Berry Growers Companion, which seems like an excellent resource.
