Sowing seeds requires a steady hand, and no matter how careful you try to be, the risk of overcrowding remains. It's a common problem, but while it can be frustrating, hope is not lost. To fix overcrowded seedlings, simply thin them out or transplant them once true leaves appear.
Whether you've planted too many seeds in one tray or in a garden bed, there's no need to worry – but you'll want to rectify the situation to ensure that your seedlings can grow into strong, healthy plants. Overcrowding means that seedlings compete for light, moisture, and nutrients, which isn't ideal if you want a flourishing yard this spring.
