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.
Angel Wing Begonias will grow well under shade cloth, lattice, or in early morning/late afternoon sun. They will burn if grown in direct mid-day sun. The flowers are edible, with a sweet tart taste. To propagate them, cut a two-leaf section of stalk 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) from the end using a sharp knife.
