Saving a few seeds and a little info about some of the plants. Everything is edible. One thing not mentioned in the video is that bees love Borage and are partial to the Nasturtiums as well. Great pollinator attractors for the garden.

Good tips. When the plants get near the end the flower drops, I cut the plant off at the roots and bring it in for the seeds to dry. The plant has enough energy to complete the process of the seeds. Thanks for sharing.
I love nasturtiums. The taste is a little too peppery for me, but I love the looks of them and their value in the garden.
Wow, with so many flowers in your garden, you've been quite busy my buddy,…..not many nasturtiums, seed and plants available over here, last thursday a lady who sells potted plants had a 9" in diameter pot with an aloe vera plant in the middle, surrounded by beautiful, healthy-lookin' nasturtiums(like yours), she was asking 50 pesos for the pot, but once aloe vera gets started it turns into a weed, lol…any chance of selling me some nasturtium seeds? Uprated and thanx for sharin'!
Nice update, Jay!
I`m looking foreward to taste the borage. Got some seeds from @Southpaw Davey I`ll be sowing next season. You are getting a nice collection of edible plants there.
The last years I`ve been trying to taste and eat more things that are new for me. Just for fun I took a bite of a squash flower earlier in the summer, as a taste test. (Inspired by other YT-gardeners). I got very positive surprised with the flavor of them, and can`t get enough. 🙂
All the best,
Halvor.
Nice one J. You have to try and get the cucumber in film doing its thing. The Borage and
Nasturtiums will volunteer every year but its well worth taking the seed to spread around your garden.
Lots of good information and really interesting how much you can eat on particular plants. Thanks Jay!
thanks for sharing!
Excellent video. Very informative. You are growing some very interesting plants, especially that exploding cucumber… never heard of that before.
I'm growing borage for the first time this year. Amazing blue flowers! Thank you for this video. I will try to save some seeds.
