I do something for fun and anticipation when it comes to seeds ....
I created a folder on my computer called "Daylily Seeds". In this folder I create more folders labeled by each sellers/gardeners name who I got the seeds from (usually their LA seller name or ATP name). In each seller/gardener folder I add a folder for each and every seed cross (I use initials for each cross) that I got from that person. In each seed cross folder I download a photo of each parent daylily (if known) and then label each photo by the cultivar name and "pod" or "pollen". That way I can go to each folder seed cross and see immediately what the parents look like, which one was the pod and which one was the pollen parent and who I got the seeds from. And then, when I am able to, I will add each seedling's bloom photos after the seedlings blooms for me (but I keep each seedling in their own folder by the code name I gave them). And that is also where I store my pedigree charts as well. Names don't mean much to me because there are so many crosses of seeds that I am growing. But photos .... ah yes! They speak a 1000 words! I love to just look through each folder again and again in anticipation of what that cross may very well create! It's a lot of fun to go through those folders and see what all that I am growing.
I use PlantStep, too, but that takes a lot more time and effort to do. The folders are quick, easy, and for me, it allows me to store photographic details of what exactly each seed cross (parents) and each seedling looks like. Few words, lots of photos!
I do this every time I open a package from someone who has sent me seeds. I do it right then and there so that I don't forget to visually log it into my "Daylily Seeds" folder. Not much data, but simply names and photos.
