Yams through the year
Against the frost risk in Quận Sáu
Why these dates
No frost tolerance whatsoever.
Seed packets and extension guides express timing as weeks either side of the last spring frost, because that is the only reference point that travels. Yams are timed with planting out 2 weeks after it, and this page simply resolves those offsets against the frost date computed for Quận Sáu.
Quận Sáu sits in zone 13b, which is milder than this crop wants, and a winter that never really arrives is its own problem. The dates below still describe the right time of year; the open question is survival rather than timing.
