everyone likes their salad fuzzy ;) The blue flowers are also very

Francesco's comment that borage self-seeds is putting it mildly. I grew a few
plants one year about 6 years ago and have had more than plenty as well as
weeding the seedlings out of that garden plot each year. The flowers are
beautiful, do I also remember correctly that they can be "candied" like
violets and violas for confection use?
