Borage is the best bee attractor I know. And it is a veggie in it’s own right so very appropriate for the veg garden. The flowers are great in salads and the leaves can be steamed briefly and eaten as a side or chopped very fine and added to yogurt or butter for a spread or dip. It tastes like cucumber. But it does reseed liberally.
