hi everybody,
yes, I have the PlantStep programm!
First time it was mentioned I bought it and I LOVE it
As my own daylilies are still very young and I'm not the most patient person..
I didn't want to wait until next year
with trying my hand at growing seedlings
So I ordered seeds from Lily Auction..
That way I can start this year with the whole preparing/planting proces
I made a special cabinet in PlantStep for these seeds, entered all the parent-DL's from the seeds in it
(a lot of those are plants that I would love to have, but can get my hands on. This way I will have their offspring..
) and made fictional crosses to 'get' my seeds.
That's the moment that I ran into the naming issue: how to call the crosses that produced the seeds that I bought on LA
And even 'worse': some of the seeds that I have bought are from a named DL and an unnamed seedling... LOL!
Made me really think how I could put that in PlantStep
I think I have figured out how to use the programm (although I will certainly read the thread you gave!) to record all this, but wasn't sure what the best way is in naming my seeds/seedlings.
For now I used the first 2 letters from both parents + the year, so Storm Damage x Russian Rhapsody would have resulted in STRU15. I thought to wait with giving each seedling an unique code until I know which ones I want to keep and which ones not (although I can't imaging throwing some of them away!!
)
I will read again all of your suggestions to see if and what I want to change in 'my system'
thanks for all your time in helping a newbie!
Mayo
