I have decent soil in my beds and I just plant my new plants in it without much "ceremony"....

I do have one more question for you. Would pinching out the Datura's growing tips make a bushier plant? I have never done it--but I really wonder if I should, as I usually end up with tall, straggly plants with maybe 3 or 4 main stems.
Do you pinch?

Thanks, Gita

Not the greatest picture--but this shows the height they do grow....
