Planting Yams the Grenadian Way

Yams are a staple crop on the island of Grenada. Farmer James "Mike" Thomas of St. David's explains how to dig a yam bed and plant yams. He plants fancy yams, moonshine yam and early yam.

Thank you. Mike is a serious farmer.

[@mariatrotman2698]

FarmingGrenada you're welcome. 😉 which part of the country is this? I am from Grenada.

[@farminggrenada3349]

We're in St. David's, this is near Red Gate up the mountain. La Pastora Estate. Are you on the island now?

[@mariatrotman2698]

FarmingGrenada no I am living in Texas right now. I'm from the Carenage, but my mother lived in Westerhall right by Petit Bacay. Sorry if my spelling is incorrect.

[@farminggrenada3349]

Nice! I was down at Petit Bacay (bacolet??) just last week. Beautiful. We live right there now, about a twenty minute walk through the bush. Texas is a long way away - hope you make it back some time.

So there's no actual seed? The part that you eat is the part that grows? So can I just buy some yellow yam from the store and plant it in the ground or no?

[@farminggrenada3349]

Yes. You can just cut them into pieces and plant.

Where can I get plants of that variety of yams to buy

[@davidthegood]

We got them at the local markets in Grenada.
