Borage - Superfood? Apparently so and easy to grow.

 Today I'm posting pictures of borage plants. Some sites talk about borage as superfood, so I tried to grow them and save seeds. I was unable to save seeds but the plants grew wild and more borage plants came up all over the garden.They grew great in full sun and full shade, and you don't have to water them too much. Like basil, I recommend cutting the leaves and dry them and use it for spicy foods. Also trim  the tops before it flowers to have the plant last longer and the leaves will also grow bigger. My borage plants took a lot of water but also survived on little water. I also planted most of them in full sun. You are more then welcome to go research more information on borage or try your own thing. Either way you will most likely succeed with borage and need very little effort. So go for it and plant some borage. It's easy to grow and doesn't take a long until you can harvest.
