Juice taken from the leaves of borage and made into a syrup,
with sugar and honey expels melancholy and sadness,
clarifies the blood and comforts the heart.

down to earth digs 
Pick the leaves, add to water, and simmer for a long while? Strain, add honey?
I really just enjoy the flowers!
Too much work. Throw the flowers in a salad, and call it good. 😉
Reseeds like crazy here.
That’s not a bad thing!
Yes, I just enjoy the flowers! The plant is kinda floppy! When it’s done blooming I pull it up, but they come back next year. My initial plan for my garden, was a huge herb garden…I have since changed my garden to a sensible kitchen garden! At least what makes sense to me! 🙂
Borage and feverfew happily “show up” to visit throughout my garden – they are the most welcome guests!
Oh, I need to grow some feverfew next year!
Thank you for visiting my little garden blog!
