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.
1 Begonias grow best in a light well-drained soil. 2  Plant them in raised beds, large pots or improve your soil. 3  Six to eight inches of redwood mulch, oak leaf mold or other humus type of amendments dug into your soil will do wonders.  Any good light potting mix is okay for your containers.
