Carolyn,
When I am preparing seed cells, I fill each cell with moistened seed starter mix, tamp it lightly, leaving a space about an eighth of an inch from the top. I spread the seeds on top and add enough starter mix to fill the cell completely. So the seeds are set about the same depth. But as you suggest, seeds will germinate (or not) at their own pace. So I wait at least a week to see what else will come up before I split up the seedlings into their own container. So in the case of the two varieties I started from the seed offer, what germinated took 5 days and nothing came up after that.
