It also doesn't live very long (longer than cilantro) but the seed heads are quite large and attractive (and useful). Rosemary is a perennial in much of the US and can become a good-sized bush. |

I put the old, with the digital camera. Borage has a lot of fur on its reflected sunlight in an interesting way. This is my first time growing borage. I am looking for herbs, an increase of 3 'or higher, this year I went to this point, I do not know what it is. Lovage for the first time I am more and more, as it should be taller.
