Borage, one of our plant allies has been a key player in all of my gardens this summer. In fact I have a few friends asking me if I would like more flowers from their gardens. Nope! I have so many. This year with the dry hot weather, borage has been able to reign supreme is out gardens. But what a fabulous plant! The plan of joy and courage. We all need that as we chaotically spin throughout this ever changing world we live in. So thank you borage, for doing your part and showing up.
