Aloe is very hardy and I’m sure you’ll have no problem getting them to grow. Just make sure they are somewhere shady, they don’t appreciate direct sunlight.

Do I cut back the dry stuff before putting it in the ground?

I’m not seeing anything from these pics that look like [aloe mites,](https://www.smgrowers.com/info/aloemite.asp) but give them the once-over twice for anything resembling that ugly callus in the image on that page. Aloe mites are horrible.
The only thing I’d mention about planting aloes out here is that they tend to form rings, so give them a bit of distance on all sides if you’re planning on keeping them around a bunch of years. There are some that are ~30 years old (as gauged by the age of the community) that are like 6-8′ diameter rings of aloe. The middle is empty.
