I planted cos a couple of weeks ago and they have sprouted successfully, however, because I planted several seeds in each hole - they have sprouted in bunches. Rather than pull any out and lose them, is it possible to wait until they get to a certain size and then transplant them to a different area of my garden (as if they were a seedling). And if so, at what stage can I do that (ie. when they are how many centimetres tall)?

About 5 cm or larger. Smaller & they are too hard to seperate. I do it al the time.
