It doesn't like to show itself until the soil has warmed, so don't expect to see it early.Ien in the Kootenayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01766317652520657570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7648449303376576981.post-63425798776130510702013-09-08T16:36:24.605-07:002013-09-08T16:36:24.605-07:00The Borage plant comes back every year.

LOL You can eat the flowers too as well as using the plant for other treatments. The bees absolutely love them. When the new seedlings come up I will get rid of some and let more grow where there is space.<br /><br />With your other plants keep the seeds of a really good fruit, pick the fruit when it is at it's best, take the seeds out and place them somewhere safe where they can dry out, then put them in an envelope with the name of it on the envelope. Better and cheaper than buying the plants from the garden center.Shaynacwingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00725923296007124724noreply@blogger.com
