It’s winter. We are taking this time to rest. Our allotment is resting, too. Very few plants are still busy, so my options to admire growing Nature are limited. As I focus more on heavier jobs (improving soil, tidying up messy branches, maintaining the shed and greenhouse), I can still admire the borage. Our white and blue borage plants are everywhere, and I cannot get enough of their fluffy flowers. In Nature, spikes usually signal danger, yet those little bushy plants feel more like a fluffy carpet. They look stunning and work as a marvellous addition to any meal. I love freezing them in ice cubes for summer mocktails. Borage is a plant to grow if you want a whole sensory experience.
