The NZ yam tuber...Hi Adrian, good to hear from you. The NZ yam tubers are still too small to harvest - wait until mid-May through to late June. Don't forget that you can push up some soil around the stems of the NZ Yams and tubers will form in this ''mound'' as well. I pulled a great haul of sweet potatoes today from a plant that went in around December 1. My late planted sweet potatoes are doing well I am going to leave them another 2-3 weeks with all this lovely mild weather. If you scratch around the main stem of your plant you should be able to see sweet potatoes swelling up the from the soil. If so you might be able to ''bandicoot'' one now and have a main harvest in a couple of weeks time, cheers ChrisPeople Plants Landscapeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09708149947102001364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779117563244798296.post-63113441940880824392014-04-13T02:06:16.586-07:002014-04-13T02:06:16.586-07:00Hello Chris, I was at you talk at Burnley Open Day...Hello Chris, I was at you talk at Burnley Open Day 2013. I took a NZ yam tuber and it is in a pot with foliage 60 cm tall in a cage to stop possum destruction. When do I pick the tubers?<br /><br />Also I have sweet potatoes at my community plot, going crazy growth wise, late start after xmas, hoping to pick some good size tubers. thanks for the blog ( first visit since open day!)Adriannoreply@blogger.com
