Borage




Storm Last Week - Magnificent Looking before it Hit

Walking to the car, I spotted this lonely grass sprouting out of a rock.
Borage. (Top three pics) One lone plant popped up in the garden. I planted a handful as a "Companion Plant" next to the tomatoes to keep away the tomato worm.

It's getting quite large but the flowers are really very beautiful. It's an herb and a vegetable and the leaves and flowers can be eaten. I might try it in a salad and report back. It's supposed to taste like honey.  I've never been a fan of blooms in a salad but I should at least try it.
