Good close up pictures!
I grow borage in my garden mostly for the bumble bees. I've been growing it for 3 years now and I don't have to plant it now, it seeds itself all over the garden. :-)
I'll be following your page.

Thanks, @amberyooper! It's funny. When I first started growing borage, it was because borage is a good companion plant. It's thought to repel certain pests like the tomato hornworm, attract beneficial insects like your bees, and add trace minerals to the soil, improving the flavor of the plants around it. So, I planted some around the veg garden one year, and didn't have to plant it again for several years! I had some pop up in areas that weren't ideal, and so had to be moved, but my experience is the same as yours. Borage pretty much takes care of itself. It's a cool plant.
