To everyone using spreadsheets, do you keep a physical copy of your inventory for backup? I've lost too many garden notes do to electronic failures and my own failure to periodically transfer those notes to a journal. I'm currently growing 48 pepper plants as a trial and keeping note of...

Not a dumb question at all as I've been struggling with the same thing as the varieties I've grown have increased and I also welcome any insight. My grandma and great-grandparents kept a half-pint or pint jar of each variety in the freezer. The cut-short beans I'm maintaining is one of those...
