The flowers and young leaves are nice in salads, or used to flavour cold drinks in the summer.

yes! i have heard that! i haven't tried it though.

no. not really.
i tasted the flowers just to see what it was like and it's sort of cucumberyish.
i planted it one year for the bees i think. it drops its seeds and grows all around. so they are back every year. it gets a little unruly, but the bees really love it. i just pull out the little plants where i don't want them to grow.
i remember using the flowers to decorate a cheese board for some dinner i had or something. it looked pretty on the board.
my friend makes tea with the flowers. i have never tried that. i'm more of a coffee person.

I’m a coffee person, too. But now I might have to try borage. I grew chamomile to try in tea, but haven’t yet. Gonna have to get a little crazy this year and make some tea lol

Especially with this advice! I love cold drink infusions.

i have chamomile growing too. haha! it just grows there and smells good. i don't use it for anything.
i'm starting to think i might be lazy!

i did can a lot of stuff though. and froze a lot. so i am not TOO lazy.

the last ones are in the oven. that's enough kitchening for one day.
