ecolojo Borage
... is a fantastic self seeding herb with beautiful blue flowers. It may be used as a "pot herb" ie added in reasonable bulk to savory dishes, mixed with spinach, and when chopped finely, added to salads or sandwiches. It is quite hairy but these hairs are not irritating to the mouth. The flavour of borage is similar to cucumber, and pea and borage soup is a classic combination! The flowers may be picked individually and frozen into ice cubes, they look very pretty in drinks. Borage is easy to grow, and will almost certainly grow again from self sown seedlings if it has grown well the previous year. They prefer light sandy soil and plenty of sunshine. Bees ...

... Sunflowers are tall, thick stemmed flowers with a large head and bright yellow petals. They can grow up to at least 3 metres tall. They also bear a resemblance to the Sun, hence the name!! I am always quite cheered up when I see a sunflower because of its bright yellow petals, and its large head. The colour is wonderful and bright. I don t know why but it s as if it is smiling. They are also quite personified, as they face the sun, and if you watch them over a day, the moving of their "heads" is quite dance like and interesting! ~~~EASE OF GROWTH~~~ Sunflowers are extremely easy to grow, just pop the seed in the soil, water regularly and withi...
