I agree Amy, I try to avoid touching it. Pulling it out with gloves, leaving just one, but they are quite large plants.

Oh yes, they do like this plant, but rather chilly for flying today.

I just bought seed, both blue and white. They never set seed where I want them!

Nothing seems to seed where you want them, Ck.

I’ve grown from seed in the past but they’ve never seeded around.

Wow Dawn...that's amazing. They are the easiest self-seeders I know of!

Odd isnt it, I cant get love in a mist to seed either.

No, me neither. But Borage is the only plant that reliably self-seeds here. I should add..the white one, not so much.

Strange isn't it, to seed or not-to-seed!

There are six huge ones in the front garden, I'm gradually cutting them away.
