Bees & Borage: A Love Story

in #photo7 years ago

Hello!

Have you ever felt you did not have enough bees?! If your gardens needs bees a great natural solution is borage! Borage is an edible flower(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borage) and herb. Many people use it for health benefits although I am not a doctor and am not sure if it has any health benefits. It does taste great and many use it in tandem with cucumber in many dishes. It also works great in berry infused waters. Borage is a great companion for tomatoes along with many other vegetables! Once you plant the borage you will wonder where all the bees are coming from!

The flower starts off in a beautiful bright pink:
