    I busted out laughing at the snakes falling joke. Their reactions were priceless.....!!!
  • I never knew it existed but just learned about it a few nights ago and I just now finished planting my first crop this evening and I am so excited to see what we get!

    We just stumbled across several cobs of this variety at our local grocery store. They tagged it as "decorative local sourced corn." Turns out that we know who supplied it to the store, and that it is indeed Glass Gem. So, we bought a bunch of it for the seeds to grow ourselves next year. We also have seed we bought from the man you mentioned in the video here. I think we have about few hundred seeds from him. Adding that to the stuff we found at the store.... we should have enough for a dozen or more 100' rows. If you harvest the corn early, just after or at the tail end of the milk stage, it tastes fantastic! It's not as vibrant in color as when the milk dries and the kernels stiffen up. But it cooks and roasts like any other "eater" corn.

    How amazing is this?! The things we, as humans, take for granted. Thank you for sharing!!
  • Would love to see a video on how to pop corn on the cob and how you grind your corn. Colorful cornbreads.
  • Wow! They are beautiful! I came across your channel while looking for something else, you and your family are amazing! Thanks for sharing 🙂 👍 thumbs up from Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 U.K.
  • Thanks for sharing your harvest with us! Very informative as well as so many viewers! Great post!
  • How fun is this?!?! I'd fill a jar just to look at all the pretty colors. Kind of like marbles. I wonder if they lose their color over years. Thanks for sharing!

  • This is absolutely incredible. I thought the picture in the catalogue had to be photoshopped but it seems they really are just that vibrant

  • What a great show you all shared, such a good explanation of the native colored corn! You are doing a service to anyone wondering and wanting to grow this. Keep up the good work and videos please and thank you so much for sharing with us.
