There are many wonderful suggestions here. I am a novice myself so I am trying to keep the code short and simple. Right now, all of my seeds and seedlings are grown from seeds purchased on the LA. I created a code based on the seed seller's name. For example, I bought some seeds from Lighthousegal. I use the first letter which is "L" from Lighthousegal and add a "1" after it because she is the first L seller I bought the seeds from. I have received two crosses from her, MEMORIES OF OZ X LILLIAN'S VAPOR TRAIL and STARMAN'S QUEST X LILLIAN'S VAPOR TRAIL. So these crosses would get these codes, L1-1 and L1-2. If I get more crosses from her sales, I would just label them as L1-3, L1-4, and so on. If I get seeds from a different L seller, I would give that seller a code of L2 and so on. This way, I can keep track of who I purchased these crosses from and what those crosses were and i don't have to write the full names of the crosses on my seed trays.
