Bay is an everygreen herb which grows like a shrub, it can be grown in open spaces or in tubs.
The flowers of the bay are yellow and it will flower in may. The best way to get a bay plant is to buy one from a garden centre for around 99p depending on the size. I also like to get my herbs from bootsales where you can pick them up from 25p so saves money.
When your bay plant is well established in the pot re-plant it outside. It likes to be in a sunny but shaded place in the garden. They may die off in the winter but should throw new shoots during the following spring. Bay is a native to the east mediterranean but have been grown in europe for years. They are a very popular herb to grow in your herb garden as they have a good use in cookery. You can use the leaves dried or fresh.
Bay leaves have a very strong aromatic scent and the best way to dry the leaves is in the dark, this way they don't lose their colour. They can be stored in an airtight jar after the are dried, but in summer it is always good to be able to pick the leaves from the plant to add the fresh herb to your recipe.
Bay can be put into stews and casseroles to give them an added flavour, remember to take them out though before seving. One or two leaves should be enough to flavour your meal. You can add them to a bottle of olive oil along with a few chillies and a clove of garlic, to give the oil extra flavour. You can put them in the pot when you are braising meat and they are excellent for flavouring home made tomato sauce.
Here is a little recipe with bay that you might like to try.
8oz of green lentils 2 bay leaves 1 medium onion 6tsp sunflower oil or olive oil 2-3tbs chopped coriander 2-3 tbs basil 2tsp chopped mint salt and pepper
Cook the lentils in a pan with the bay leaves and onion untill tender. Drain and throw away the bay and onion. Heat a pan and add the oil then fry all the herbs except the basil, for 3-4 minutes. Stir in the lentils and heat through, add the salt , pepper and the b asil. Serve on a bed of rice or with fish.
When I trimmed mine off last year I put the cuttings on my front wall in a box with a note on saying bay tree cuttings. Somebody stopped, took about half and posted me £5.00 through my letterbox. Not a bad price for trimming a tree!

It would be useful to know how easy it is to take care of. I tend to kill things!
Advantages: small, powerful, comfortable, reliable, led lights, led indicators Disadvantages: not as many bits as I'd have liked also would have liked a lock function
