Would someone please help me commit planticide?

I need to know the best way to decide which seedlings should to die and which ones should live, and at what point. I planted 3 to 4 sugar snap peas, bush beans, pole beans, cantaloupe and squash seeds in every hole, and of course they all germinated. They are anywhere from 1 inch to 4 inches high. Should I eliminate all but the strongest looking one or two sprouts, or should I try to separate the seedling and it roots and replant them somewhere else?

All of the ones you mention are hard to transplant.

Go with the strongest. I usually will pull (clip off) the weakest and use them as sprouts in salads. What I mostly do is sprout and grow on the seeds and then plant them in the garden. It saves a lot of space and a lot of seed.
