Borage is a cool-season crop and does well in the cool temperatures of Spring and Fall. Soil temperature should be at least 50F for seeds to sprout. Use a hoe handle or stick to make a 1/4 inch furrow deep down the center of the ridge. Plant 3 seeds in the furrows spaced 16 inches apart within the rows. Cover lightly with loose soil then sprinkle with water. Keep moist until established.
