dave said:Anderwood, borage is praised as a companion plant and although I can't point to the evidence, I am sure that it improves the flavor and vigor of tomatoes. We also love to eat the flowers. Smiling


I love those blue flowers on borage but I have never tried to eat it. Only have ever grown borage to attract bees. The stuff does love to self seed so once you plant it, you should have it for years. But I never thought of planting it in my tomato plots. Great idea, and I will be planting some among the tomatoes next spring.
