You can also use it as a cough medicine by making a tea, and it'll soothe a sore throat if you freeze them in ice cubes and let it melt in your mouth. It's a very useful and beautiful plant. ❤
Mine didn't taste anything like cucumber, more like licking a postage stamp. Plus you didn't mention that the leaves are all prickly. The flowers are lovely looking though.

For any "herbologists" out there, tomato and cannabis are very similar in growing techniques, meaning this is very useful for your home grows
I grew it last year and I’m growing it again this year. It was a delightful plant to have in the garden. Pollinators loved it and so did my kids. 😂
Be borage popping up everywhere in my beds from the 2 or 3plants i had down last year
I’ve got quite a few, very similar looking plants but the flowers are pink. Maybe they’re weeds, so I’ll look out to get some borage 👍
Finally put it back into my garden this year. Adding it to the Reseeding Gang so I don’t have to think about it next year.
Growing this year for the first time ever!!! It is beautiful❤❤❤
I used to make it raw finely sliced with a yogurt vinaigrette
I have it on my seed list for next year.
Oh Snap!
I've been pulling them up. . Not until I saw this I thought it was a weed.😥

I grow it every year to the bees.
I'll be growing borage!
Beautiful blue flowers💙✨
