Well done you, I hope it never gets beyond you to know what's where and
all about them.
For myself I would worry if I did not use comprehensive labelling for my
seeds which this year numbered 131 new packets, let alone saved seeds
and carry-over of seeds from previous year. They are also used to mark
the position, beginning and end, of seed rows, also the fact that there
is more than one person who has to have the information at times. My
policy has to be 'If in doubt (usually) put a label in, if sure still
put a label in'. I carry a supply of 4 inch labels and a marker pen in
my gardening pocket along with fold-up snips, a large foldup knife, a
piece of string and a plastic bag for harvesting.
