>> Be sure to label your seeds as soon as you harvest them.

Amen and "me too" to both of the above!
I learned that the only way I'm sure I'll "get around to it" is to write a label BEFORE I go outside to collect seeds. I like to have one big bowl or big paper bag for each variety that I PLAN to collect from.
When I'm clever (not often) I'll have coffee filter with the name written on the filter, before I go outside.
But I had better have a few extra bowls or cups or baggies with me
AND more slips of paper
AND a pencil.
Otherwise I'll find seedheads ready to pop, that I really want to save
... get back inside
... and have "something" tucked away here and there.
"Memory" ... what is that? I forget.
Ever notice how many seed packets get traded around with a very general name plus "NO ID"? I think that I may have figured out why.
