Borage ( Starflower )

We discovered the borage plant by way of a courtesy packet of seeds that our good friends @jungseeds sent us along with an order about 3 years ago. Needless to say the "starflower" has been a staple in our garden ever since.

We've planted in the garden raised beds, planters and pots, as well as in our herb box and around the perimeter of the front yard. It's been a pleasure to watch this beautiful plant grow with its furry stem, leaves, and violet colored flowers.

The flower is edible and has a bit of a spicy undertone which goes well used in our summer salads with rocket arugula and cherry tomatoes. The leaves are said to be used for tea once dehydrated, but we haven't tried that yet.... P.S. We’re not the only ones that loves the borage plant, our friends “ bees “ 🐝 love them as well. “ From Our Garden To Yours “ 🌺🥬🍅
