    I bought a couple of borage plants with a view to planting out in the garden. Aside from the culinary value, I was attracted by the prospect of blue flowers, and also understand that it is particularly good for the soil. However, unlike other herbs that I've been nurturing in pots, it seems to be flagging. Drooping. I wonder if I've been over-watering it? Or could it be that it doesn't have enough space in the small pots it came in, and I've left it too long to replant?
    Any suggestions?

    Thanks as ever,
    Dan

    My plants grow to be pretty much man-sized, so I expect they would need a decent sized pot. Turn it out of the pot and see how much root there is - if not much put it back, if its cramped pot it on :thumb:

    We put the blue flowers in Pimms - it makes a talking point :)
