My little potted bay-tree is in blossom - it looks pretty with its leathery green leaves and fluffy creamy-white blossom !
A beautiful sunny morning and the wind has dropped , so we are in for a warmer day I think !
Beautiful, I have two lovely Bays I started off as twigs, they stand about 7feet tall, its took many years to get them to this hight but well worth it.
You will be shocked at this Beryl but I only used a bay leaf for the first time yesterday. I have not been brought up cooking with herbs, my mother never used them & a farmer just likes plain cooking. I was discussing chicken soup with my daughter on the phone & she said don’t forget to put a couple of bay leaves in mum. I said I haven’t got any & she said yes you have in the back of the door where all the spices & herbs are kept... so I used two! I have stuff but don’t know how to use then in cooking. I would love a cookery course on cooking with herbs & spices. Sorry I’ve rambled on a bit!
@happypat No not shocked at all - suppose it does depend on what your mother used to do We always had different herbs in the garden and always had a variety of spices to use .Mum would spice up a boring salad with chopped parsley and chopped mint and chives , She always studded gammon with cloves , mixed herbs in soups etc !
