I created a Garden inventory using the database program in Microsoft Works,
which is really easy to work with. It is easily extendable into plugging in
math formulas for accounting purposes, and if you can reduce what you're
doing in hybridizing to mathematical terms, this or any other database
should do it for you. I began by giving each of my beds a letter, and each
plant in each bed a number. The next step for hybridizing is to work out
probability formulas, which really sounds like spread sheets to me. Put the
genes for plant ABaa in rows and BBab in columns and see how they cross out.
It may be faster to do this on paper until you start fooling with multiple
traits.
