Yams
Burgundy Yam
-
3-5cm
3-5cm Yams are a deliciously sweet tuber, often about the size of a thumb - perfect with a roast! Mmmmm.
If you are in a region that has frost’s, it is recommended that you leave your yams in the ground to get “frosted” a few times. This will enhance the flavour. If your garden doesn’t become water logged over the winter, you can leave your crop in the ground for a few months.
Planting:
Plant around August to mid October. Plant 30-35cm apart to allow tops to grow and approximately 3-5cm deep.
Watering:
Water regularly to maintain soil moisture.
Harvest:
Approximately June/July, once the tops of plants have totally died off.
Storage:
Keep in a dry dark cool place until required for eating.
