Most seedlings seem to making their way through it!

I’m hoping stuff like the radishes can get through though, beans are going gang busters with it though, seems to have helped the peas as well. Generally everything since the tops been kept moist!

but I’m worried about the seedlings making it through.

just make an opening with your hand where you seed/plant and your plants grow towards the light

Only a few of my stuff is planted in rows, most is scatter planted. Limits my options unfortunately. Learning stuff though.
