Moringa leaves. This year is the best it has ever grown.

Reposting to keep this pic in the Garden Love thread.
Borage is an excellent pollinator plant, and as a bonus adds a beautiful blue to the garden.

I am pretty hopeless at keeping these Garden Love posts all in a thread.
Here is the Lemon Verbena I missed adding. I loved hearing from the people who love LV, and how the pic instantly evoked its scent as you brush past it or pick leaves.

Another plant from my garden - Yarrow. If you look closely you can see a wasp on one of the flowers. Yes, even wasps are welcome in my garden, except the European Wasp. Luckily I see these only rarely.
With many medicinal and some culinary uses, yarrow can also absorb nutrients from the soil and make them available to other plants. I plant it at the end of some of the veggie beds.
I have recently read that it is sometimes added to ferments. I am keen to give it a try, but judiciously as it has a flavour tending on the bitter side.

Definitely Doc D@LifeTimeCooking thanks for the link on uses for Yarrow! I'm outlining a podcast episode on "weeds for the medicine chest," and yarrow will be one of the featured plants.
At a previous house, I had it take over more or less everywhere: flower beds, in the lawn, even growing up through the gravel in the driveway. Unstoppable and dependable, marvelous qualities!
