Hi John we got some Yams from you about 18 months ago, and didn't have much success the first year they were in but we tried again and this year have been rewarded by some fantastic growth from the yams, so cannot wait till it is time to dig them out of the ground. We planted in two different places, to see which grew best, and both this year have taken off. :-)
