working the soil ok?
I have some sprouts coming out from the ground but I just down like the soil looking packed down abit from the rain. I feel like some of my seeds won't be able to get through the crust of the dirt. Is it ok to work the soil abit so it's nice a fluffy again or should I just leave it because the seeds will still be fine and able to break through it?

The seeds will have no problem breaking through the soil surface .. Don't try to fluff it up.You'll likely damage the seeds and seedlings trying to emerge.

Thank you for the tip!
It's way clearer to me now, and I'm a total newbie to this.
