I'm here, Barb! You bet I am interested if you still have seed. Thank you for reaching out. I saw the thread title and for some reason was thinking of Glass Gem corn. Please PM!

Those are perfect healthy plants, especially from a "stick" . Have you ever had early blight or septoria in your area?( If no I'm moving there pronto!) I believe GG was bred to have good resistance. Our heatwaves can exceed 100 degrees and night time can stay in the 80's and its sticky as heck. Its rare but fruit set here turns off when we get the heatwaves late July/Aug, usually it lasts about a week and temps cool down and things go back to producing. Hopefully not too late or it will be fried green tomatoes come autumn.

Looking forward to pics of bountiful future harvests!
