Borage..... such a lovely colour combo of flowers 29.10.19

Love this, it's on my wish list for next year 💜💙

@pelly be prepared for how quickly and how big they grow Jane!

I must admit I've never thought about that, but I've got just the spot for it, thanks for the advice David 👍👍

Borage.... so fast growing! Blends rather nicely with the Verbena #latebloomer 23.10.19

Wow that looks amazing and lots of it! Borage is brilliant and so pretty 😊😊💙💙

Borage is definitely one of those plants where the more you look the more you see!

I really must get this, it's so lovely and all edible 💙💙

I’m definitely going to sow these next year

Borage looking really interesting now..... first time I’ve grown it and it won’t be the last!

I grew it from seed last year, love it for the bees but also use it in Pimms & salads! Be careful though, it self seeds! I’ve had to pull up quite a few this year.

@linfoster thanks Lin...... poppies do set the scene so well!

@jerseylily thanks for the advice and suggestions Deborah

Lovely colours🤗

@godfreye thanks Enid

Borage started flowering and lots more to come! 11th June

10th May cataloging new plant

Ooooh, love this plant. Which is lucky, because new self-seeded babies are still popping up from that one time I grew some in 2017! 🤣

@Mikekally so pleased to hear they self seed Kim....... love seeing babies appear

Yes they're lovely - and easy enough to pull up if they appear in the wrong place

@Mikekally my kind of plant Kim........ love self seeders that don’t take over unless you want them to!
