This year I planted an open pollinated, heirloom variety called Glass Gem. They can be used for popping or grinding into cornmeal. I plan on saving seeds from the healthiest, most colorful ears for replanting next year. The rest will become snacks for me and the chickens. I am interested to see what the cornmeal looks like from these colorful kernels.
The two 20 foot beds that I had planted filled two boxes with these colorful ears. Right now I am laying them out to dry in my back room because many of them were a little damp from the good rains we have been getting for the past couple of weeks. When they are dry enough I will remove the seeds from the cobs and store them in jars until I want to use them.
