And growing near the tomatoes:  Borage.  These are baby Borage plants that planted themselves from last year’s seeds.  Fortunately, lots of them are in the tomato rows.  And where there aren’t any, I transplanted them near tomatoes.

 

Borage is a good companion plant for tomatoes.  They deter tomato hornworms.  Not sure why.  Maybe the hornworms like the Borage better than the tomatoes, or maybe they hate the Borage and go someplace else.  Don’t really care.  All I know is that Borage keeps the tomatoes safe from hornworms.  

 

I will show you the Borage again when it blooms.  It is delightful as well as useful.  Can’t beat that.

 

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
