    One of my favourite flowers! I think I read somewhere that the nectar stores of borage refill faster than most other flowering plants (minutes rather than days) which is why the bees like them so much.

    Excellent video! Thanks for showing through the growth of the plant. Most people just plop them in the soil and nothing more for their videos. I'm growing this for the first time, so I found your video helpful.

    Yum! I have used them as companion plants for strawberries but never knew they were edible! FILLING my straw bale garden with them this year because I’m studying companion planting and SO many plants benefit from them. Can’t wait. Thanks for all of this good info about starting them.

      Persians have been using them for many centuries to make one of the main staple medicinal teas, it’s an excellent calming nervine for anxiety, often taken before bed and great for sickness / colds too

    Hi! I love your channel, thank you for sharing your great knowledgeable videos...they truly help me as a new gardener. I do have a question for you...I've been gathering rain water to use for watering my little herb and veggie pot grown small greenhouse garden and I noticed the water is a yellowish-green color (much like the water in this video you were using to water the seedlings)...is this normal? Thank for any advice/info. You are AWESOME and hope your health is doing better.

    We had a borage plant in our herb border last year but I'm not sure it survived. Round about the same time a weird plant started growing next to it and it's now grown huge, early investigation seem to suggest this is some kind of ragwort (though it's not flowering so I'm not certain it is).
    As a side note I hope UA-cam stopped shadowbanning you, I somehow missed this video when it posted 2 weeks ago but is now showing up on my feed so fingers crossed.

    In the video you said they are perennial but they are not they just self seed right? Because everything I've read said they are annuals? But at 11:00 you said 'here is a plant from last year' so now im confused.
    I've grown them from seed for the first time ever this year, they have just started flowering, they are excellent. I didnt realise how big they can get. I too grew mine in those exact yogurt pots :). Mine are riddled with aphids which I've just been smushing with my fingers or brushing off with a paint brush, so I'm going to try the water / eco soap spray trick.

    • @ProjectDiaries
      @ProjectDiaries  3 роки тому +1

      I'm not sure where "everywhere" is but the 2nd, 3rd and 5th search on Google states that some varieties are perennial. I've also grown them as perennials and if they self seeded it wouldn't just be one plant in the same place each year. 😉

  • @jab4634

    They are only produced in my garden to serve as a pollinator for the bees, not for my own consumption.😊 When I grow them, they grow tall and the stems are thick, but I have no idea how to support them.

  • @Tiredtothecore
    @Tiredtothecore 2 роки тому

    Hey brother! Would you happen to know why the one you're trimming grew upwards but the other ones are flat? I have seven I planted this year and I've never planted them before so I have no experience, but I've been puzzled at the very flat nature these plants seem to have. All of mine are laying flat on the ground and none of them have put up a stem or any flowers yet. I think I planted them around May 15th, so they're about 14 inches across from one leaf tip to the other, but they're not growing in height at all, they just keep rolling out new leaves from the center. So I was just curious why in your video you have one that seems to be growing tall and the other ones are flat like mine.

  • @yesterdayseyes
    @yesterdayseyes 2 роки тому

    Just be aware you'll have thousands of them come up every year after, and putting them in containers does not keep them contained. Kinda wish I had known that before I grew them. The bees do love them.
