Not bad,

"I planted Borage with my Chamomile, and the Borage was so prolific that it took over half of my herb garden. It's a beautiful plant, great flowers (which look supreme on many dishes), and doesn't need a whole lot of care. The only complaint I have is that the flowers have very little taste, but for a garnish, it doesn't matter much."

"Borage self seeds prolifically, which is lovely. after my first packet of 50 seeds -- 2/3 of which I still have -- I just let it start new plants.
It wakes up very early here in the Sacramento Delta, where other plants may be slow because of our strong winds and parching sun. By mid-July, it's flopping over and has bald spots in the middle. Best for the back of a border.
We use the blue flowers as a beautiful accent on yellow and orange tomato salads, or sprinkled on dark greens. They have very little taste, but look smashing.
Even the baby leaves are too "hairy" for us to be tempted to consume them.
I plan to keep growing borage. I'm delighted to have something that comes up EARLY without my having to do anything!"
