fat borage

I am pleased with my Borage seedlings, their robust fat leaves look like a sign of health.
But the one that seems to be doing best is in the smallest pot. The two I transplanted into larger pots, where I hope they will mature, tend to droop quickly. I have to water them every single day or they flop all over.

I did more reading about this herb and discovered that it grows a taproot that doesn't like to be disturbed, so does better sown directly rather than started indoors and transplanted. So now I'll know better for next year.
