Borage

[Baldy]

I believe my borage self seeded plants are up already... unless I'm mistaken, which I might be, I think they're about a foot tall in 'my' hedge by the plot... I'll double check tomorrow if I remember...

[Baldy]

Yep borage - think its the common one I've got in my hedge - in flower and about 2 to 3 feet high

That's white comfrey, Baldy.

Yeah... got my photos mixed up. There's some purpleish flowers a little to the left of those two but not in shot.

Dammit. I'd do better with a crayon...

I'm on the wagon... not good for me

midsummer

Cut back borage plants by half their size in midsummer to encourage reblooming.

I'm hoping my Borage from last year has self-seeded.

Anyone know around what month the new plants will start appearing?
Haven't seen any yet, so not sure whether to start any this year from seeds, or just hope for plenty of self-seeded volunteers.

Update, sowed some Borage seeds that were self saved by Jonny.D in 2015, thanks Jonny.

Only sowed four seeds, but got 100% germination, after 7-12 days in propagator.

Some self-seeded volunteers have also now been appearing
