From plants grown by me in 2015. Send me a tree mail with your address.

What does this plant look like? I have never heard of it before. I will look here on ATP then google it and see if I can find a picture.

I did find pictures. It looks very interesting. Does yours look like Indian corn or is it light yellow? Can you eat Glass Gem corn? I was thinking about planting some Indian corn this year. I have left over ears from several years ago. I will trade you some of my Indian corn for some of your Glass Gem Corn. If you don't want any of mine, I would still like to try some of yours. I will send you a tree mail.

Sent you tree mail.

What a generous offer! I'm growing pod corn this year, or I'd love to partake of your offer. Glass gem corn is on my list for next year, only because I saw it after I received the pod corn.

Would love to see pics of yours.

They say it's popcorn, but I've tried popping some kernels and not all pop well, I've been growing to save seed for 3 years now so I haven't tried much. I don't think they can be eaten when first ripe, instructions said harvest when husk is brown and corn is hard as it gains color as the husk dries more and more. I've been trying to get bigger kernels so this year see what grows! 🙂

I would love some Keith, sent you a tree mail if you see anything on my list you would like in exchange let me know, I have most available in seeds. Thanks so much, Kim

sent you a tree mail!!! Thank you so much!!!

Keith,
Do you think that they would grow in 5 gallon buckets?

It's possible, my plants some got over 8 feet high that's the concern they may get knocked over if in pots.

@keithp2012 I received my seeds yesterday in the mail. Thank you. I am not sure where I will plant them but I will find a spot. How far apart should the seeds be from each other and how far apart are the rows. Would I plant 2 seeds per hole or just one? Sorry about all the questions.

Rows 2 feet apart, seed a foot apart. One seed per hole.

I've got plenty of seed left!

More seed left!

Lots of seed left (I grew too much I think!)

Planting season is approaching! 🌽

I grew your Glass Gem corn last year, and it was pretty neat! Most of my plants got destroyed when I had a new roof put on the house, and even though I asked the workers to protect my plants, they didn't. But the few ears I did get were so pretty. I didn't get all my seed planted last year, so I'm hoping it will still be viable this year. If not, I've got the ears I grew myself.

To anyone thinking of taking Keith up on his offer, he is very generous with his seeds, and these are definitely worth trying out!

What colors did you get?

Mine looked almost identical to the ears you posted. Primarily shades of yellow with some reds and maroons, and few kernels in shades of blue/green. One plant was pure white, and I was so excited about that, but it only got to about 4" tall before it died.

Wow a white seedling, that's cool! I didn't get any blue kernels last year but got yellow, white, maroon, purple, and striped, still a good variety!
