I know exactly what you are talking about, Dave!! And you are right about Borage not liking our summer heat! The best way (so far) that I have found to keep the Borage around is to plant it amoung some taller plants so that they can shade the plants from the afternoon sun. Last year I planted them right under the tomatoes. Of course they still seem to wither away before summer is over! I'm still trying to find a way to keep them around all summer so if I figure out a way, I'll let you know. Smiling
