Orto di Casa Cecconi

My first allotment, and then one thing leading to another…

I can't believe…

… I did forget all about borage’s use! It is true that at the time when I was writing about it last year my mind was set on my degree, still… Borage can be used in salads and stir fries, and I have been pulling it, because it was taking over the asparagus bed!

I will try some tonight: all the plant outside the soil is edible: stems (fried in batter in Spain), leaves and flowers!

I might find it as exciting to use as I did mint: I am now making mint tea every day – dried & fresh leaves make a slightly different taste, both fresh and naturally sweet, though!
