I have been told that a post that is sunk in the ground for a deck should sit on a concrete pad at the bottom of the hole and the hole should be backfilled with pea gravel.
However-------I have seen posts that were done the way you did yours and they didnt rot as long as water was not up against the post.

Here is what you should do in my opinion....
Make sure that posts at the bottom are dry and coat them with tar or roof mastic and or put a small concrete dome around each post at the bottom for better drainage also put gutter on the roof too. (the key is to have positive pitch drainage away from the barn posts)
