BORAGE AND BLUEBERRIES

Well, I never wrote anything on this post because I ran out of time. So,you might wonder what borage and blueberries have to do with one another.  Well, nothing really.  Except they are both blue.
Borage is actually an herb that will take over your garden if you don't keep pulling out the small plants whenever you see them.  It looks quite similar to a sunflower at this point, so be careful when weeding it.  The way you can tell the difference is that the 3rd leaf that grows on borage is sort of fuzzy and the sunflower's 3rd leaf isn't.  The benefits of borage are the beautiful star like blossoms that appear on the mature plant.  They are edible and make quite an impression on dinner guests when served atop a nice green salad.

Another benefit is that borage acts like a bug repellent in your garden.  This is one plant that you want in your garden if you are an organic gardener.

Isn't this beautiful? 

This image of blueberries bushes doesn't do justice to the beauty they possess, but I  felt I needed to include it because picking and freezing them and making jam from them was a big part of my summer.
