My record keeping is all digital, backed up on the cloud.

Each year I have:
Garden beds layout Powerpoint
Excel sheet for seed starting info and DTM from seed and plant-out (tomatoes only for that)
A Word document with general thoughts

I have a cumulative tomato tasting log, including variety, year(s) grown, taste score (out of 10) and comment section, sorted by taste score high to low. This is primarily for stable OPs or hybrids, not experimental crosses.

I have separate Excel sheets for dwarf project family crosses and grow-outs.

I also post pictures with useful captions on Instagram--which serves as a photo log of varieties as well.
