I grew glass gem corn exclusively this year, and got some pretty good ears so far, although not very many are ready yet. I did start mine a bit late, but I used soil blocks to start mine. It was only my second time growing corn, with the first being a total failure (corn doesn't like to grow up in containers), so I'd say big improvement here! How big did everyone's glass gem ears get? Mine might be on the small side (especially that one with poor pollination). Anyways, if I get a lot more successful ears, I might be willing to share some seed.

my seed list was last updated 12/7/14. some seeds have been traded/used since then. but I have not found the magic link to update my list. can email current list to anyone interested.

Sadly, i cannot help with the canadian seedcorn. i do have several corns i love to grow that you may have an interest in. am getting a small (60 seed )sample of glass gem from utah but would love a bit more diversity for this intriguing landrace :)i was lucky enough to get a sample of hickory cane corn from ken scharabock years ago through a growout request in countryside magazine.i could trade this,hickory king (white or yellow),krug dent, greenfield dent, or eureka ensilage for a sample of glass gem ( i'm trying for at 200 seed minimun for stability and diversity :) I also have several hundred tomato varieties and hot peppers ( including pimento de padron peppers that i have been growing for 7 years) If you have any interest in a trade, please let me know .thanks!

Thank you all. I was busy planting as much as I can last two days, Now I am in airport heading to India for next 10days. After looking 10days forecast, I have planted Beans, few peppers, couple of eggplants, tomatillo, okra, all type of beans, few early cucumbers etc. As I am gone for next days, not want to miss good weather for summer crops. As per the regular planting time from OSU and Dawn's planting schedules, I planted bit early, but I have plenty of seeds to replace them or inter-plant when I back. I have planted 9 types of bush beans, each of 12ft row, at 3in (seed to seed) and 8in (row to row), plant density is much higher then recommended but I need to accommodate as much as I can. We liked Purple hull pink eye last year, had great success with all southern types last year even when snaps bean are just flowering and shedding their flowers, but these southern peas keep setting pods. I not have good harvest of snap beans last until Sep. Got only few pods from Fordhook 242 Lima last year, and same experience with all runner beans and ornamental sweet peas, they staled and produced few flower then died. hoping for good this time. Somehow I forget to buy Early Sunglow, will miss this year. I not planted any ornamental sweet peas this time and sown only few runners just for trial. We grow purple hyacinth for ornamental as well for cooking, but taste is not that good as compared to wax types. Have a great time in garden! see you in April. -Chandra
