I am in Zone 6.  We cover the carrots with some straw and dig them through the winter.  We dig up the potatoes.  But when I miss some they do grow the next year.

Where did you get some to plant?

 

And, for those with experience – we can often just leave potatoes, carrots, etc. in the ground here in zone 8-9.  Does Yacon store all right that way?

 

And lastly, I saw Yacon syrup at Whole Foods yesterday.  I had no idea it was even manufactured.

I planted Yacon for the first time this year.  We have had enough of a frost to burn the tips.  It has not flowered yet.  It did get 3 feet high.  Will tubers be mature enough to plant next year? I have not dug it up yet.
