Perpetual Spinach

Hi

I normally start my spinach off in a pot then transplant. The Perpetual Spinach seeds seem more like corms than seeds. When they germinate you get 2,3 or more plants from each "seed".

Have in the past either separated each plantlet and planted separately or culled the weaker ones just leaving the strongest. Did try this year just leaving all the “seedlings” together and planting as a whole but they haven’t done as well.

What do you find works best?
