I bought 1 or 2 little plants last summer & planted them on a little hilled bed. The plants died down but I left them as they were until last week when I noticed parts of tubers sticking out of the soft ground. I dug around & there are lots of them, some of them sprouting already (April 7). I left a few to grow again but I harvested several quarts of tubers. The slugs had nibbled some of them but most look healthy. Portland OR. no work, no trouble.

Hi Joan.Don`t cut the growth as that is normal and means they are growing well.You will get tubers growing along the growth and at the end also. Cheers John. Tassie.

We are growing yams in out communal garden and they are sendiing out shoots about 2metres long. They are in raised beds,and the foliage is spreading all over the place. Should we cut the extra long shoots off?

I just got a big bag from my fruit n veg shop should I plant them now ? I was thinking of using a spud bag , any suggestions ? I planted some a few years back in my garden but they rotted - I think the soil was too heavy (red clay ) .
