Growing Yacon

[nerobot]

Hi all,

Just got some Yacon from a very generous grape, and was wondering what you experiences of growing it are? Also, and growing suggestions? I've been advised to plant them indoors soon (which I will be doing), but any other advice would be great.

I grew yacon last summer. I grew it in a pot mostly outdoors although towards the end of the summer I brought it into the greenhouse. It grew well, no problems and eventually flowered. I harvested it in October and was quite pleased with the results. I did not get it until the end of April when I planted it so I do not think you should be in too much of a hurry to plant it.
Good luck. It tastes quite nice - tasty and fairly sweet but I have decided not to bother this year - I am going to have a go at sweet potatoes.
