    It was a good year for raising yams, according to Caroline Mastny of 410 West 19th Street. She displays some of the large yams she grew from three hills in her garden. The two largest yams weighed 4.76 lbs. and 4.96 lbs. respectively. She said, "I've been raising yams for a long time, but I've had nothing like this."
