It's important to have good company in the garden especially

Borage. The very name has me shaking with fear. My garden in London is overrun with the stuff, and it's all my fault. I planted it about fifteen years ago, because I thought the flowers were pretty - but before I knew how invasive it was. It self seeds like crazy. And it has long thick taproots which, in an established plant can go down for two feet or more, making digging it out extremely hard work. . . .

Another good use for borage - it attracts honeybees! This is the first honeybee I've seen in my garden this year.

I don't think you can beat the beautiful blue color of borage.

One of my favourite herbs to grow is borage. In fact, I would go so far as stating that I couldn't have a herb garden without borage in it.
Borage is one of those unusual herbs that suffer from an ugly ducking identity crisis. It grows alongside basil, oregano, marjoram and all the usual favourites yet it can't be used in the way that these others are. You would never finely chop some borage leaf and combine it with your pasta dish. Or take some of its leaves and infuse for an herbal tea. . .
