Weedwhacker said:RpR, do you just grow the Glass Gem for decoration, then? or is it actually good for eating? I tried growing it one time but we had an early frost that year and it didn't really develop fully.

The Indians used flint corn for meal but it would be my last choice for such use but it also can be stored for a long time.

I had not grown it for a long time but this year the other half bought a packet so I put it in for her, for decorations; still surprised that critters scarfed it down as I had dried sweet corn on the stalk plus laying on a table outside for quite some time and they did not touch it.

It is pretty though, but I do not remember the cobs being that small, but then it has been awhile. I tip my hat to you.
