Labels on the containers/cups survive until we plant them out.
Before planting I make a map of all the plants. If I do change my mind depending on the size or type of the tomato, I change it in the plan. I number my beds. I know you give them names, which is fine as well. My plan is on the computer at first, once I plant them I make paper copy so when I am outside I can look at it and know which one is doing fine and so on...
As I pick fruits and bring them inside I usually remember where I picked them and what variety they are. At some point you just know where and what variety you have.
