mulched over direct sowed seed

So I built a new flower bed this spring. All the flowers are south facing so they get plenty of sun and good drainage. Soil is good and loose not compacted.

After planting my seeds I mulched over top of them. They have been planted for about a month and I've seen no signs of life. Today I read on another forum that the mulch will keep them from germinating due to lack of light getting in.

My question is if I remove the mulch after this long will my seeds start to or continue germinating? Imay be overly cautious or jumping the gun a bit. I just don't want to miss the best time to plant waiting on seeds that are dead if I need to replant.
