Thanks both! @JWWC, that one that looks so small -- it's funny, I can't remember which now but as I potted them up I noticed that above ground size and root development were not at all correlated one to one. Some of the smaller ones had bigger roots and vice versa!

I appreciate the tip not to plant too deep, also. (I guess that's what you mean, @gardenglory, by too low?)

As for babying and stuff, honestly, that is my instinct but at this stage of things I am needing to make a degree of progress and having to say in some cases, "Yer on yer own, plant." Hilarious!

I'm working on several new beds at once, and trying to get all to a stage of relative completion soon -- for one thing there is a neighborhood garden tour on June 6 -- they're going to get a work in progress no matter what but, you know, it would be nice to have most things in place, in the ground. Blinking Green Grin!
