2013 Grow List (So Far)

13 years ago

Glass Gem Corn
Adirondak Blue Potatoes
Okinawan Sweet Potatoes
Ghost Peppers
Trinidad Scorpion Butch T Peppers
Horseradish
Purple Apple-Berries
Blue Tomatoes
Dill's Atlantic Giant Pumpkins

Along of course with my cherries, mulberries, blackberries, grapes, and figs that are perennials. Won't get any fruit off them this year, but hopefully my pawpaw trees will get nice and big and possibly-maybe-cross your fingers have fruit next year. Same with the miracle berry.

Oh yeah, and last year's Pineapple and Wasabi might be ready for harvest by the end of this season too.

So you did get your hands on some glass gem seed? I really enjoyed the pictures of those you posted previously. Should be a lovely colored harvest.

Yeah, got some off ebay.

Normally that would be a huge no-no, but this is corn. If there was any crossbreeding going on it would show up in the kernels right away, hence I'll know as soon as I open the box if I got what I paid for or not.

Got 40 kernels coming in. Not really enough for if I wanted to make a sustaining population, but good enough to grow it out as a novelty a time or two.

If it turns out to be something I want to keep growing, I can just get some fresh seed off the internet every couple of years to mix it up with to avoid the inbreeding depression. Not gonna make an entire field just for this stuff.
