Okey, I was watching everyone else's, and now it is my turn. My plot is small 8 by 25 feet in the community gardens. I use raised beds and pot mainly so I can use almost all compost soil(with some rock dust, biochar, worm castings, pet moss, and vermiculite). I use bunny and guinea pig bedding with manure for mulch.
That's before I got in at the end of March

That is borage - I raise it for attracting bees and eating the fowers and juicing the leaves

OK, I hadn't thought of trying to juice them. Hmm Do you have a serious juicer--the auger kind rather than the centrifugal?Joyfirst wrote:Well, the leaves are very hairy, so even though they are edible raw, it is kind of hard to do. Juicing takes care of that - I just juice them as any greens -with some carrot or apple or grapefruit juice to make it taste better.applestar wrote:Now, about JUICING borage leaves....

Lovely!!
Here's a better idea, get a free photobucket account, plenty of picture storage, easy copy of codes for boards, and it's free.Joyfirst wrote:Thank you guys. Unfortunately I forgot I put all these pictures in and deleted some of them from my flicker, because I needed space for the new ones(Flicker allow just 200 pictures with free accout, maybe I should see, if I can post from my facebook).
