You should have pulled the roots out of the spiraling shape they were in when sitting in that pot before planting them. In fact, breaking up the roots of any potted plants should be performed before putting them in either a new pot or in the ground to promote faster growth and quicker rooting!
Personally I find being outside stress-inducing and annoying with all the noise from insects and animals. I prefer being indoors and listening to music to unwind. To each their own. God bless!
