    Nice big plant, SusieG!

    I hadn't realised until today that Borage can be grown as a field crop for its oil. I passed a couple of huge fields in the car today, that expanse of blue looked lovely.

          Lovely plant. Give it a bit of support as they have a tendency to fall over.

                  And here he is today - really bushing out and flowers opening up everywhere...!!!

                  Wish I'd allowed a bit more space for him - he's taking over the bed...!!!

                    I have several which have been flowering for weeks but are now flopping everywhere - can barely see a couple of dahlias! Need more stakes (add to the garlic & I can double up as a vampire hunter )
