We planted potatoes and true yams in the same garden bed, doubling yields by growing one crop that gives us roots early, and another that gives us roots late. By planting yams last fall, which then slept through the winter and will not yield until this fall, and then putting in potatoes in February and late March of this year for a May/June yield, we effectively doubled our production in this part of the garden. Growing blue potatoes is easy and they were quite productive. The variety is called "Adirondack Blue," and our experiment to see how it did in the South was more than successful. As the potato vines die down it lets us know when to harvest potatoes. There are more potatoes that need to be pulled, but this is a great start. Later, we'll harvest yams from the same space. What fun!
