I chit peas and beans in the house before potting up. Saves space but mostly to stop the mice having a party.
Most seeds are single sown if they are big enough to handle.... though some I will single sow with tweezers. This is usually the case if they are autumn sown as they are germinated in the greenhouse.
If I had more small modules I would single sow everything... but when the weather warms up this isn't really an option as they dry out too quick.
Most are started on my heated bench in the greenhouse or the propagators in the house in Spring. Just to get them going quickly.
Some flowers need cold nights/warms days to germinate - larkspur/orlaya. These are just left in trays. These seem to be temperamental so I often use a mushroom tray and prick out when necessary.
