Rutabaga first. I have a seed packet that has a lot of tiny RB seeds. I read online about planting about 2" apart then thinning later, how far apart the rows should be etc. But does each hole just get one seed? I am concerned as to what happens if a number of the seeds do not germinate. Should I put maybe 3 seeds in each hole to protect against that?

Lettuce. So this seed packet is full of a bunch of tiny tiny seeds so I do not see planting one seed in each hole. Can't I just dig a trench and drop a continuous thread of seeds from one end of the trench to the other? These are Romaine seeds. And could I do the same thing with the spinach seeds I have?

Thanks to all who respond. I live in SE Florida.
