Let's talk about a plant that even the worst gardener on earth is going to have no problem

growing and that would be borage. It also has a ton of fantastic benefits

to grow in the first place.

So whether you're just trying to get a win in the garden

or you really want to have some benefits bestowed

to your garden, then Borridge is something

that you really need to grow.

So let's learn about it.

Again, it's a Mediterranean plant, so it's one of those easier to grow plants.

Now the flowers and leaves, they are used in a variety of different herbal remedies, not something I personally know a ton about,

but there's also the fact that it grows just about anywhere, full sun to part shade in containers or just out in the garden and it's readily

self-sewing and it has a fantastic, fantastic role for bringing in pollinators and bees

into the garden. So that's specifically why I grow it, but it also is just

beautiful to look at, very prolific, and I personally like to pop the flowers off and

use them in a culinary fashion. Just pop them into a cocktail, put a couple in a salad,

not a really fancy or intense way of using porridge,

but that's just the way that I personally do it.

Now, the seeds again, also very easy to start.

They're large.

So larger seeds typically are a little bit easier

to germinate because they have just a bit more reserve

and capacity to whether potentially not ideal conditions.
