I love blue flowers too. Some years the fields are full of blue flax, which sways in the wind like the sea - beautiful.

Can you eat raspberry leaves, too? I love blue flowers, btw. Delphinium are my favorite. Not very edible, tho' I would imagine. And they are difficult to grow and get really tall so I've never attempted to grow them myself. Borage sounds like something pretty darned handy to have around -- you should freeze some just in case you need it next winter.

maybe once er twice a winter

and then we all ferak out and everyone screams

 

very rarely it will snow, but it never sticks, just some large lumps fall from

the sky

and we scream some more

generally its warm til october..then it will chill out toward the end of

november...december thru feb. can be chilly, tho, it rarely goes below

freezing...

global warming will just make it weirder everywhere..colder in some spots,

warmer others...droughts, floods, stronger storms

wot scares me...if global warming affects the gulf stream...if that changes

direction, you folks are all screwed...

Wow! That sounds beautiful, Jo.

 

We get chicory here that grows wild along the roads -- I've seen it in Maryland, too. It smells neat, too, if I recall correctly. It's not as impressive as what you are describing, tho'...

That sounds good too Jojo. Are the flowers blue. I could be completely wrong, but I don't think we grow chicory here. It's supposed to be very good for you.
