a lot of my seedlings, especially the jupiter beets, have sprouted what looks like several plants in one area despite the fact that I only put one seedling per area. ive done some research and it seems that the suggestion has been to "thin" the plants and that people throw away the "other" sprout once it has been thinned down. is there a reason that you cant just replant the other sprout somewhere else in another pot or area of the garden and treat it as if it were just another seed? will it not technically grow if you tease the roots apart?

it seems like a good deal. youre getting two plants for one seed. in the case of my beet seedlings, i'm even getting three sprouts per ONE seed and i would love to save them all if possible though of course separate them so they dont sap each other's nutrients.
