Are you the sort of person who sees root crops and thinks “Hmm, that would probably taste very yammy”?

Well with this guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about Yams – including how to get them and their various uses in Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town.

How To Plant and Harvest Yams

Yam seeds cost 300 G per bag and are only available during Autumn.

Each seed bag will cover a 3×3 area on your field.

After tilling the ground with your Hoe, you can equip the seed bag from your toolbox and plant the Yam. Make sure to water them at least once a day using your Watering Can!

If it’s raining, there’s no need to water your crops manually.
