Such beautiful color on the Ube yam! 3 times the potassium as bananas and sweet potatoes, wow that's great to know, thank you Gary!! ;)
This will be my first year growing ube. It's so hard to find growing advice on them. Thank you for the info!
Thanks for the intro to different between yams/ sweet potatoes love Gary's aussy accent
Thanks Gary, watching from philippines
Love your videos! Wow you and Robbie are the best!
Great info Gary. Thanks!
Wonderful content on Ube! Love the video, and a huge thumbs up from us over at Permaculture Northeast!
My dad use to plant yams. He would dig a hole about 1ft and place lots of dry leaves and compost. Then he would place the yam to grow. They hardly ever grow much deeper than the hole and was easy to remove from the soil. The worst place to plant yam and potatoes is in hard soil.
I love ube! The vines look pretty too. Purple vines, emerald green leaves with purple veins. No clue why it isnt used as an ornamental vine.
Thank you for the info, great video
Where did you get the baubles?
so wassup i love your content btw
Hey, a fellow southern CA resident trying to grow Ube. I was curious how large the plants have to get before the actual underground growth starts? I couldn’t plant till the middle of July as there were shipping issues that took a couple months. I live in the antelope valley area (Acton). We usually have good sun until the middle or end of November if not December so my plants do have at least a couple of months. There currently have about 13 leaves on the biggest and 10 or so on the rest. I know there will be no harvest this year. However I’m afraid my plants may waste resources growing a vine without growing the actual tuber. I am new to growing Uber and am relatively new to gardening. Any advice on moving forward would be appreciated.
I planted 2 sprouted yams from health store
They are purple ,
Wow in a week in half plants are out of dirt 8 inches
hi Cathy how did you plant them? could you describe the steps? i tried to plant a piece of YAM. it is in the ground for 3 weeks with no progressing.
These ube yam are expensive thank you for sharing
Hi gary...is a pinetree harmful to the yam or ube?
Is that a salt cedar in the background?
Where I can find yam.... I am looking for yam for a long time
Its hot n rainy here in florida
❤️❤️❤️
Are you selling ready to plant “ube’?
the yams i buy from the grocery keeps on rotting before it grows new tubers. Any tips on how to prevent this?
Gary responding. If the yams you are refering to are actually sweet potatoes they may have been irradiated. If they were shipped in from Hawaii they irradiate them to prolong shelf life by preventing them from sprouting. Years ago I grew sweet potatoes from store bought mainland grown. If possible find out where they were grown. A lot of produce is now treated this way. Cabbages, Strawberries etc.
Very informative Gary, any purple vegetable is known to be higher in vitamins, being so high in potassium is even better, my husband's potassium bottoms out sometimes, I grow alot of orange sweet potatoes, but I need to get some purple yams, we can't get them here, any ideas, where I can get the starters.
You can sometimes find them at Asian markets.
Where can I get some of the ube yam? Could you help me Obtain this yam. Thank you.
a bit late, but many Asian grocery stores will carry them :)
Wer can I get the seeds I'm in uk
