The Great Borage Showdown

....aka Battle Of The Borage 

There have been rumblings for the past week or so but I thought now would be as good a time as any to get the show started. Today I sowed between 16 and 20 seeds.

I thought it might be nice for any members who want to join in to sow borage seeds and chat about it. We all know bees and pollinators need a helping hand and this is a lovely plant we can have in our gardens to help. The flowers are pretty star shaped blue, sometimes pink or purple. You can eat the flowers or put in ice cubes and you can use the leaves to make borage fertiliser for the garden.

I thought it might be a nice way to unite online friends by doing something remote in real life.

It does self seed so I take no responsibility if you end up with more next year! The more the merrier. Apologies if you have no outdoor space. Maybe do a bit of guerilla gardening if you can Blush

This post was inspired by Jamie (who I cannot tag for some reason) and 

So lets help our wildlife!

  • I can recommend the film to anyone who has an interest in coincidence, Jungian sycronicity and other such related "weird" stuff....that's basically the whole point of that film.

    Having now used up all my "universally good" category films, I'm looking for fresh input. Last night was the first really duff film night we've had so far, technical problems forced the abandonment of the planned programme, and the back up film although enjoyed, was sub par compared to the quality items we've got used to.. That looked like a solid lead to me.

  • Thanks for the clarification. I understand now. I've recently fallen hopelessly infatuated myself, with a young Cossack lady I met in a video the other day, so for once I really do understand.

    (Just hope the O/H doesn't actually read this...) 

  • Yes.....I stand by all earlier comments made regarding the film...but remind you that it is a RomCom and that I find Kate Beckensale Sooooo easy on the eyes that my personal bias and clammy adolescent admiration of her might have clouded my best Barry Norman judgement.
