These little Alyssum Royal Carpet seeds sprang up out of the peat pods so fast! They're supposed to be low, spreading plants, and I have some shallow 9" ovoid shaped pots to put them in. Do I need to/should I bother to separate the seedings?

I tried to only plant four or five seeds in each pod (I didn't think they'd all grow, the seeds were so teeny!) Should I pinch some off so there's not too many plants in the pots?

I've included pix of the seedlings, and some of the pots (before I glazed the outsides) they're going in... any suggestions? (The bigger pot in the back is going to have dwarf pansies in it...)
