BAY LEAVES ONE OF THESE IS NOT LIKE THE OTHER

Ever since we lost our Bay Laurel tree in one of the epic freezes, we've been buying bay leaves again.  2nd Man loves to cook with them.  Recently, we found some new ones that definitely not the same, ha.

Can you tell by this photo?


Ha!  They are both bay leaves but obviously not the same.  He was excited to find these quality, fresher, darker green ones and so I got to thinking...

We need our own tree again!

I searched online and found a place and ordered one. The last one we had was small, and so I decided to pay a little extra to get a bigger one.

I ordered a 3 gallon size and they did not disappoint.


This one is 3' tall.  Here is the image from the website and the one we got is almost identical.

We can't wait to find the perfect spot for it, but for now, it is in a pot on the back porch.  Need to do a little research and see if just putting it in a large clay pot (we have a couple we could use) will work and then we can move it as needed.

We should get to harvest some leaves soon!
