Keeping track of three batches of three varieties of tomato seedlings, some of which are destined for grafting while others will grow uninterruptedly, caused me great angst last year. I am going to try color-coding each batch in addition to labeling.
All these seedlings are the same age within a couple of weeks. They cannot instantly be told apart. So I will have my colored stickers, and the labels, and the following schedule. I hope I can stick to it.
