Planting Yams and Sweet Potatoes in Florida in July
It’s time to get these Yam Slips and Sweet Potato Slips planted. I’ve missed my “transplant with care window” by a few days according to the IFAS Master Gardener program – but I’m planting anyway – the slips are ready and so are the beds.

About Michelle in the Meadow
I am a suburban gardener located in zone 9A in Northeast Florida. I started growing in this suburban lot in 2019 and have expanded the garden every year. In 2020 I started making Facebook Videos about the garden, and in 2022 created this YouTube channel. I enjoy making content about my garden, what I’m growing and learning, and from time to time the general vlog, too.
