I've recently become interested in growing Dioscorea species, particularly for their unique tubers and potential culinary uses. I've read that they can be a bit tricky to cultivate compared to other tubers. Does anyone have experience growing them, specifically in a temperate climate? I'm curious about the best soil types, watering schedules, and any pest issues I might need to watch out for. Additionally, I'd love any tips on using them in cooking once they're harvested. Are there particular varieties that are easier to grow or more flavorful? Thanks in advance for your advice!
