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.
Tips. 1  If you pinch back pieces of the begonia, you can put these in water in your house to root. 2  Begonias can be started from seed, but it takes about 4 months for them to be ready to go outdoors.. Prepare your soil. Rather, donât prepare soil at all, as begonias grow better in soil-free garden mix than then do in typical âdirtâ. Prepare a mixture of â peat moss and â soil-free potting mixture (available at gardening supply stores and nurseries).
