Hi. We’re expecting a thunderstorm this afternoon. I planned on putting out my Brussels sprout, Stonehead cabbage, Ruby Perfection Cabbage, Destiny Broccoli, Blue Ridge Kale, Rainbow Chard, Snow Crown Cauliflower and any any seed planted 1/2” or deeper today. Should I hold off until another day? If I go ahead can I sneak in seeds less than 1/2” deep too?

Thanks for your time.

any deeper planted seeds might be ok, but it does depend upon the layout of the garden too as a slope can get washed out...

the shallower planted seeds could be covered with some burlap or old rags and then checked to see if they are sprouting once or twice a day to remove it.

delaying a day or two is also ok...
