I planted borage all around my garden this year because I heard that it was a good companion for the tomatoes. I have four tomato plants, and about 10 borage plants. I love them. Their blossoms are true blue, which is so rare in flowers. They are edible, and supposedly taste like cucumbers. So when my Bonsai cucumbers aren't actually large enough to eat, I can eat the borage blossoms. Borage is one of the ingredients in Pimm's No. 1, too. Which should be all anyone needs to know about borage.
I think I may make some juice cocktails this week with borage garnishes. I do need to try them to see if they really do taste like cukes.
