update: Borage

Just an update on my flourishing backyard borage.

The bees are going wild on the borage blossoms now.

Cool! I just planted some the other week. I'm glad to here bees like it

I like to do some succession planting. Yes, right now is the time to
plant them in the Spring time.

Do you have problems with rabbits eating borage?

[beepro]

Right now I don't have the rabbits. So cannot tell you.
But I am sure in time of a dearth they will eat any plants they can find.
Seeing the dust bowl on you tube of how the jack rabbits got killed and
no vegetation will survived them, I am sure they will eat the borage too.
If you have rabbits then make a rectangular chicken wire fence around them.
Put up a few stakes will hold the fence together. If they want to dig under
the fence then line the bottom of the raise bed with chicken fence too. The
bigger wires mesh will do.
