Re: brugmansia

Hi List:

I've been lurking for a few weeks and am coming out of lurk and into the
garden.  I'm fairly new to perennial gardening, having graduated from
annuals about 3 years ago and have a couple of questions.

I am enjoying the brugmansia discussion as I am attempting to grow both
a brugmansia and a datura.  I know the datura will be okay outside year
round since it came self seeded from a friend.  The brugmansia will have
to come in for the winter, I'm in a windy zone 5, but can it take a
frost?

Now the biggy.  I am attempting to amend a small flower bed which was
taken over by Queen Anne's Lace.  Digging it up and Round Up failed to
eliminate it and I came home the other night to find the Other Half 
finishing pouring gas over it.  It is now dead but......... what about
the soil?  Should I remove the top 4 or 5 inches and replace and how
long before I can safely replant.  The Other Half figures the gas will
evaporate and the soil be okay but that sounds too easy.

Thanks for any suggestions,
Heather
