Q&A: Thinning Seedlings
Answer: You want to end up with one seedling per container. Yes, you can transplant 2 of them, but you should consider whether you really need those extra plants. Remember, if you planned your garden for 6 tomatoes, you donOt want to end up with 18 plants! A better bet is to snip off the 2 weaker seedlings at the soil line. That way, you wonOt disturb the roots of the one you want to keep. But if you just canOt bear to do that, then go ahead and gently transplant them.

If you just like to watch the plants grow or want to make sure they don't die later, you can separate
them & share you leftovers with neighbors & friends as I do. They are always appreciated.
