Bonjon,
I believe that planting earlier in the summer will minimize the root damage that occurred this past summer, hence, my note above that I will try to plant earlier in the summer. As far as labeling, this past year I used photoshop to create a picture of which tubes contained a given cross--see picture below. This, however, was cumbersome when I planted the seedlings. I am currently thinking of using T labels to separate the groups of seeds from each other this year, by placing the T labels between the individual tube rows to mark the location rather than the lines I put on a photoshop image.
