I am trying to use ggplot to plot the data, and R code, below. The dates (jdate) are printing as Mar 01, Mar 15, etc. I want to have the date printed as MMM DD YYYY (or any other way that will show month, date, and year, e.g. mm/dd/yy). How can I accomplish this?

yyy  <- structure(list(
  jdate = structure(c(19052, 19053, 19054, 19055, 
                      19058, 19059, 19060, 19061, 19062, 19063, 19065, 19066, 19067, 
                      19068, 19069, 19072, 19073, 19074, 19075, 19076, 19077, 19083, 
                      19086, 19087, 19088, 19089, 19090, 19093, 19094, 19095), class = "Date"), 
    Sum = c ( 1,  3,  9, 11, 13, 16, 18, 22, 26, 27, 30, 32, 35, 39,  41, 
             43, 48, 51, 56, 58, 59, 63, 73, 79, 81, 88, 91, 93, 96, 103)), 
    row.names = c(NA, 30L), class = "data.frame")
yyy
class(yyy$jdate)
ggplot(data=yyy[1:30,],aes(as.Date(jdate,format="%m-%d-%Y"),Sum)) +geom_point()


Thank you
