Borage is, to me, a garden essential. The flowers are beautiful, especially when grown near comfrey. The flowers are edible...I love serving guests tea made from mint grown in my garden with wonderful blue borage flowers floating in the ice cubes. It's an old country belief that growing borage next to tomatoes makes the tomatoes taste better. I don't know if that is true, everyone tastes foods a little differently....but I do know that borage near tomatoes gives you more tomatoes. And cucumbers, melons, and beans...because bees love borage and it brings them into the garden. I just love the happy feeling of borage in the garden, and then again when the blossoms are used as a bedtime tea. Happy dreams.
