Article from Terroir Seeds Garden Log

Borage Flowers
I just read another interesting entry in the Terroir Seed's gardening log. http://webmail.q.com/zimbra/mail#1 It is about planting to help control one of our least favorite pests - aphids. Planting flowers that can encourage a beneficial such as borage may bring lacewings and planting sunflowers, dill, anise, and daisies can encourage Lady Bugs. Not to mention that they are all beautiful flowers. Borage flowers also look great in a salad and are eatable.
They also mention another favorite of mine - Maximillian sunflowers -  to use as a boarder to keep out invasive weeds from another property. They bring spectacular fall color long after everything else is gone.
Sign up with Terroir Seed and get these useful monthly updates.

Thanks,
Loni
