My labeling system goes like this: the letter is the bed they're in, the first number is the row in that bed, and the second number is the number of that plant in the row running east to west, or north to south depending on row orientation.
So, L 7-9 is bed "L", row 7, plant #9.
I grew out almost 700 segregating hybrid plants last year, so that's about the only way I can keep track of them.

I look forward to your results.
Thank you.
Today I see 6 up...

Oh sorry I missed it, but I need to tell you something....I'm in love with your tomato. I know others may talk and say "ENOUGH you have hundreds already!" but I don't care. So if you can find it in your heart to bestow me with your beautiful creation I'm sure this bud of love, by summer's ripening breath, May prove a beauteous tomato when next we meet.
