| jewelers tags have been used for years .... you use codes instead of trying to write a lot of info on the tag .... e.g. .... mom is 1 ... crosses would be 1 X 2 ... two being the pollen parent ... then 1 X 3 ... etc ... i guess you may as well buy a notebook while you are at the office supply ... lol check the link ken |
Here is a link that might be useful: staples for example

| I cut up mini-blinds for tags for cuttings, plants, seeds, whatever. You can make many dozen from one mini-blind, and use a #2 lead pencil to mark on it. The pencil will never fade, will not rub off, won't wash off, or smudge, but you can erase it and re-use it. I use a hole punch to make a hole in it, and one in my pot, so I can keep it a bit more permanent. Just remember to move the tag when you bump the plant. Good luck! Janie |
