Growing jicama, or Yam Bean, is a lot like growing pole beans, except you eat the root and every other part of the plant is poisonous. We have had so so luck with them in a Fall planting here in Tampa, if the winter is mild. Where they really shine, is during our long days of summer. These really do take 5 months and need to soak up all the Sun they can get. Not sure if it'll work but we are attempting to leave some of the tubers in the ground to see if they resprout in the Spring and grow more tubers without seeding. Will let you know. (3/17/21)
