How are your Yacons going Bluebell? I’m just harvesting my second season of Yacon, and getting about 7kg per plant. I’m in New Zealand. I think you’ll find that they’re fairly hardy and easy to grow. The frost will knock back any new leaves but they just keep throwing out more, in my limited experience. We don’t like them cooked so much, although they sweeten stews and soups quite nicely, but they’re great to add to juices and smoothies and really nice in fruit salad.
