Growing Yam/Oca, also Oka

I've been growing NZ Yams in the Upper Blue Mountains for several years with increasing success. Just remember that they are oxalis and can get to be weedy and that the yams don't get to plump up till Autumn so don't get disappointed early in the year if it looks like you are getting lots of leaf without any yams. Good luck
