Lovely Georgie. I really like the  Borage., I have never seen it before. Excuse my ignorance (have got to learn) Is it a perenial? Lorna.

Thanks, everyone.  Lorna, Borage is an annual herb, which grows to 3 feet in 8 weeks!  If you want some seed, just send me a pm. :)

Borage will grow for more than one season.  We've had a lovely patch of it on our in bloom plot since we got it and it looks as good as ever.  We had bees so put the hives near it.  It's been covered in flowers again and has looked a treat  :)

Borage is annual but self-seeds like mad. I planted a few my first year on the plot, andnow it's a weed! I let it grow anywhere it isn't in the way as it's such a good bee plant.

Lovely pics Georgie.  I particularly like Polemonium boreale. Very nice.

Have you still got your frog?  :)

Hi Heldi.  Yes, I like the Polemonium too and the bees love it nearly as much as the Borage.   :)

My big frog is alive and well thanks, and joined this year by at least five others!  I sat watching one of them in the water feature yesterday - I'm fascinated when they catch flies.  Also spotted a wood mouse on the peanut feeder again and I have some lovely gatekeeper butterflies this year.  Quite a little wildlife haven for North London and it gives me many hours of pleasure.   ;D
