I just want to show you what an herbal space hog that borage can be! I love the cucumber flavored edible flowers. I have a few seedling coming up in my herb garden that I have to compost because they will get much too big. The young leaves are OK for salads. When the leaves are big, they have the fuzzies and are not very tender. Also borage in large amounts is not a good thing. Another blog called Root Simple had this post about
Borage: It's what's for dinner. In my case my lettuce and other greens are behind the "hedge." My master gardening friend, Shelley, thinks that the hedge is protecting from the deer browsing my peas and other greens. Maybe so. Again, inside when I should be outside. Hope you have had a great day. I will be having a Second Chance drawing for the remaining Herb Companion magazines later this evening and you will see the results here on this post. If you commented on the original magazine post and didn't win the first time, you will have another chance tonight. Sorry comments are closed. Stay tuned. Talk to you later.
