please clarify – everyone is calling yams a sweet potato. sweet potatoes grow off slips.
i wish people would starting using the correct references.
thank you so very much for the clarification! All my life I have seen "Yams" and "Sweet Potatoes" in the markets. Every Christmas we eat "yams" – with marshmallows in casserole. BTW – Yams are much less expensive in the grocery stores than sweet potatoes. Leading to more confusion.
I am really happy "you are the one to break it to me" – your snide wording was not necessary.
I am in zone 5 and they do indeed grow here
