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.
Dragon wing begonias are vigorous growers, reaching up to 2 ft (60 cm) tall -- and will spread about as wide. They make dependable patio container plants. Just be sure to bring your plant indoors when the temperature drops in autumn. This tropical beauty likes warm temperatures just like we do.
