Do you have an ideal number of seedlings to leave in the pot?

I don't thin them. It would disturb roots too much if I tried that. I simply scanter the seeds in the pot, no rows or anything. Cover and good to go. So you have to sow enough seeds to make a decent crop but not so many that you have overcrowded them.

This was one of my first questions. I do not like thinning, it always seems such a waste of seed.

I decided against peas this year because we have never harvested more than enough for a meal and some garden snacking. I will do my best to remember this for next year. Thank you for the idea, Newyorkrita!

I don't thin them at all., They can be rather thickly planted in the pots but I do plant so that I will not need any thinning.
