split stem seedling

Leave it and see what it does

You can always snip one half off later if it stays 'conjoined'

Could have been 2 seeds stuck together?

Does it need separating? Or do I leave it? Or see what it does?

I had several like that last year with an early seeding, I don't know why but i have never seen it with seeds sown in March or April. About half died (far worse a loss rate than the single stems) but the others produced healthy, productive plants. I'd leave it alone and see what happens
