Feel lucky that my yard has plenty of borage that comes back each year on its own :) I didn't do anything with it last season but I would like to try making tea with it this year.

The white cultivar(s) (I know only 1 tho) of #borage are excellent for somewhat shadier spts. Put em near #composting, to soak up leaching nutrients and grow useful biomass.
In maximum sun, the flowers also easily wilt and turn brown. In subdued or partial lighting, with plenty moisture and nutrients, the plants will grow luxuriously and the white flowers will shine like stars. A good choice for places one wouldn't usually think of growing borage.With the green parts not safe to eat at all, the flowers are the one food use you'll want anyway.
If you want the minerals for health, make a proven safe extract, don't consume raw. I wouldn't make a borage extract if it's not certified organic and from clean soil you 100% trust, Borago and its entire clade all the way to Phacelia are pretty indiscriminiate about the trace elements they collect. One does not want cadmium
or lead in their micronutrient shot. -

Beautiful #fuzzywuzzy #borage flower & buds 😍
Massive pollinators attractant! It is edible & medicinal too 👍Win-win.Keep it contained & snip their seed heads off - if you don't want it to spread everywhere.

2 more pretty pink & purple #borage #flowers bloomed today 🤗 They've been visited by several bees already.
One of the #RedRose plants I rescued/dug up from construction demolition site, 5 years ago, produces a lot of #roses. They smell fabulous too!

So I went back to the Borage fields armed with the drone (and, unfortunately batteries that hadn't been charged in the last couple of weeks, so not much flying time)
A few pics and I couldnt 'resist doing a 360 degree thing.

🌱 Ever thought about adding a touch of blue to your garden?
Borago (borage) is a stunning option that not only looks great but also supports pollinators!
