Oats have been used to help lift a depressed mood and help people who are withdrawing from addictive drugs or alcohol. ~ In a clinical study in 1968-1969, 6 out of 10 chronic opium addicts gave up the drug after treatment with Oats (2 mls of the tincture, three times a day) over 27-45 days.
When to Plant. Plant begonias in the spring time as they become available in the garden centers (and after the last hard frost in the northern climates). You can also plant them in the fall in parts of the country where it doesn't freeze over the winter.
The ideal temperature to start the begonias off at is 18 C (64 F) but they do not seem to mind a higher temperature if placed in a seed propagator at 21 C (70 F) or if placed in the airing cupboard. However a temperature lower than 18 C will mean a slower start.
