Borage Working to Blossom

Young borage. I'm looking forward to the beautiful flowers. Right now, the bees are busy with the anise hyssop--flitting from blossom to blossom. Wait until they touch base on the these petals! I planted the borage as a nice midsummer green for my chickens. Naturally, they won't touch it when I toss it into their chicken run. Who would have figured? So the fine feathered birds get the great big very bitter turnips instead, while I on the other hand, will dry the borage leaves and use them in my winter teas.
