It doesn't matter. If you plant in pots before it is warm enough to plant outside in the spring you will have a head start on the growing season. You could also leave them in the pots and bring them inside when it gets cold for the winter. Either plant two or three seeds in a small pot, or plant directly in the garden. It doesn’t matter.

You can create problems that way. They will have to compete for sun, water and nutrients in the soil, plus you want to give them enough room to reach their full potential in order to give you the maximum amount of produce. Seed packets and the vegetable plants you buy usually tell you on the package how far apart to plant them. If not, ask the nursery employees. I have been gardening for 35 years and always use this method. It is also easier to cultivate and weed if you can get around the plants without risking stepping on them. Tomato plants need plenty of room to grow and space for you to put cages or some sort of support for them so they don't fall over when they are laden with their fruit. Too close together makes harvesting maddening! Make notes in a journal in the fall as to how the garden did and what you'd change or improve on in the following year. Then you'll be set for future gardening. I do not plant my vegetable plants in a dense manner. You can create problems that way.
