How do I thin?

Hello everyone,

I am a complete beginner. This is my first attempt at growing anything and I have a question about thinning.

I have planted the following to grow indoors: kale, mustard, spinach, peppers, tomatoes, strawberries, basil, parsley, spearmint.

I sowed 5-12 seeds of each plant in their own 6" pot. I already have some seedlings with some of them. My question is, how do I go about thinning them? I am a bit confused. Should I transplant each seedling into its own pot? The kale I'm growing has 13 little guys popping out. Am I going to need 12 additional pots? How many seedling can I have per 6" pot?

I mention pots because they will be grown indoors. They will not be transplanted outdoors.

Please give me some advice on thinning. Thank you.

Andre
