Planning this Year's Garden?

Want bees - plant Borage according to a study from the UK

Borage grows well in Cranbrook gardens and it will seed itself, volunteering a few plants the next season - just be careful not to weed out those fuzzy seed leaves when they first appear in the spring.  Borage is an annual.  It's flowers can be crystallized for cake decorating but it is probably more useful in the garden to lure in the bees!
