I would like to know if it is advisable to cut some of the stems off as there are sometimes 5-6 stems rising of one seed. It leads to a bit of overcrowding. The seeds were planted abt 60mm apart. Thanks

Keep all the stalks growing; they all produce pods. Better a bit crowded as they stand together better in strong winds.
