Nothing like a four year old in charge of dirt... The aprons were a gift at Christmas, bought by my sister in law from an Etsy shop. |
Madi is learning to write- and made most of the labels that were taped to the sides of the flats, directly under the designated cells. |
Remember when I said I was 'going simple'? I couldn't help myself and ordered, then planted 8 cells, of Goji berries. |
My garden book has coils so I can tape extra seed packs in, I also staple in most of my seed and plant orders so I can remember varieties and quantities from year to year. |

I do pretty much the same thing, but I also note germination date and rate - for the next year. It helped me stop buying one varietal, which had terrible germination rates and was expensive and not worth it.
Let me know if you need my lee valley seed cells. They aren't the self watering ones, but they should help. . .
I currently organize mine by type of plant. Legumes with legumes, brassicas with brassicas, etc. But that's not because I'm smart, it's only cause I had to start somewhere! I absolutely see how your system would prove useful.
I actually have majorly geeky spreadsheets of all the varieties of plant in my yard, including seeding dates, row spacing, etc. I'm a dork that way.
Kevin, I bet the spreadsheets allow you to look back at past years more readily than my system of frantic page flapping as dirt flies. Outside of the geek factor, you have the benefit of a digital search function. I imagine seed orders become more efficient (I spend a lot of time trying to remember which varieties I loved and hated).
