Borago officinalis. Silvery green leaves covered in softly bristled hairs grow on stocky 18” to 36” plants. Young, tender leaves taste like Cucumber and are wonderful in salads, vinegars or soup stock. In midsummer, White Borage produces gorgeous, starry, edible white flowers, irresistible to beneficial insects and humans alike. Direct-sow in spring after the last frost date: it isn’t fussy about soil, but needs sun. Annual. Average seed life: 1 year.
Herbs may be either direct-sown outdoors after the
threat of frost has passed, or started indoors for
transplanting or container gardening. Herbs require
moderately rich, well-draining soil with at least 5
hours of bright sunlight. To start indoors: sow
lightly in sterilized seed mix, lightly moisten and
cover with plastic wrap until germination takes
place. Do not water again until sprouts emerge.
Remove plastic wrap once sprouted. Transplant
outdoors when the threat of frost has passed. Some
perennials like Lavender, Catnip or Savory prefer to
be started indoors. Others such as Chives, Sage or
Fennel prefer to be direct-sown outside once the
soil has warmed. Most herbs dislike chemicals or
over-fertilization. Feed lightly with kelp or fish
emulsion once seedlings are well established. Keep
lightly moist: never wet. Pinch back the plants to
avoid flowering and to encourage leaf production.
