@lovestogarden now that looks like an alien to me!!😂😂😂

It is the two 'eyes' isn't it?! @ShelleySnyder

@lovestogarden I don't know if I'd call it eyes I'd say it looks like the alien is mooning us!!😂😂😂😂😂

Shelley, now I did not see that at all until you said that! Now I do!! 😂😂😂😂 @ShelleySnyder

I've read that borage is a good companion plant for planting with 🍅s... as it is supposed to help with keepin horn 🐛 away.... u know if this is true? @lovestogarden

Brittany, I have heard they are good companions, but never heard why. @bpetty55

I had borage growing amongst my tomatoes Janice. The noticeable thing about it is the buzz of bees and the many many seedlings that spring up after flowering.

PS. Janice I still had small grub hole in some tomatoes dont know what kind though.

Yes, they DO draw bees! I got these originally with some other plant start from my Mother's garden years ago. They come back every year!! @deekay
