What I did was create a file cabinet and put all my seed crosses in that, Filling out all the info that I could including number of seeds in this cross. Adding pictures of pod and pollen parents. Then I could tell quickly which crosses where the most successful I make notes on how many seeds there where what the losses where and how many where later culled from this cross how many where trades/sold. It is easy to keep records in the Notes section and you can keep track of anything good or bad about the particular cross. Once I have the keepers I used the Hybridize part of the program so that I can keep track of seedlings and have parents photos as well as seedling photos to compare at a glance.
When I created my seed file cabinet, each years seed crosses start with the year they where hybridized first then the cross then the number of seeds produced. ( this way each year is kept together in the cabinet) I can also keep track of seeds that I purchased and from who.
2017 Vampire Bat x Bowtie Affair 9 seeds mine
2018 Blue Eyed Dragon x White Eyes Pink Dragon 14 seeds mine
2018 Pink Damask x Purple Leopard 5 seeds Nina
in the notes section I would put the date planted and date sprouted I can add info each year along with general stats. As they mature I can decide how many if any are worth keeping.
This gives me something to play with during the winter, I can create the Hybridize part of the program, adding any photo's and individual statistics that I had noted, It also gives me time to make a garden name for the keepers.
I find the file cabinet became a quick reference when planning next years crosses.
