My girls and I planted borage in our gardens back in August, and now they're exploding with flowers. When we've got enough, I'm going to show them how to make borage ice cubes.
Borage flowers are 'happiness-blue' in colour and create a special atmosphere when they have naturalized in a garden, as mine now have. Bees :-) love them. The white variety always seems to appear amongst any 'plantation' of blues and make a lovely counter-point. We had Californian guests at the weekend, whose children at the borage flowers from our salad bowl and declared that yes, they did taste just like cucumber. My sense of taste is not good enough for me to confirm that, so I'll take them at their word. Borage-flowers-in-ice-cubes are a perfect example of simple pleasures that are free and available to everyone, if you take the time to make them a reality. Clink clink
