Did you know that sweet potatoes and yams are NOT the same? Yams also called true yams, are an awesome survival crop because it doesn't require much to produce lots of pounds of food per plant. If you are located in an area with mild winters where the ground does not freeze, you can grow true yams. I like to buy tubers at the Spanish/Latin or Asian grocery stores under the name "Name". #yams #trueyam #survivalfood #southerngarden #urbanfarm #homestead #homegrown #sustainableliving #garden #gardeningtips #vegetablegarden #gardentok #floridagardening
