Looks great! I'm waiting for my seeds to germinate too :)

The roots will be able to bury themselves in time but make sure the soil is always moist. Regardless of whether your seedlings are in LFSM or in peat moss, they are very susceptible to drying out.

Ditto what Alan said about the seedlings drying out. Until their roots grow down below the surface (which they will no problem) you should mist the surface down every day or when it is not moist anymore, but be careful not to drown the seedlings.
