Companion plants: Tomato, Peppers, Squash, Cabbage, Strawberry, Cucumber, Beans, Peas.
Planting tip: Seed scarification is recommended to aid germination. Sow seeds directly into the garden after the last date of frost. Sowing the seeds every four weeks will ensure a ready supply of borage flowers. Pinching the terminal growth will force a bushier plant but may sacrifice some of the flowers.
Harvesting tip: Pick fresh flowers for freezing or drying for bouquets. Cut the fresh leaves during the summer to add to salads or spreads.
