A bay tree ~ they grow well, are evergreen, easy to maintain, can be cut to shape and you can pluck a leaf or two to use in cooking whenever the recipe calls for it. We have one just outside the back door, in a pot, for just that purpose ...... they are also not expensive, don't mind wind, sun or shade.

Good plan!!

If any of the leaves go yellow give 'em a good dose of water and tomato feed (available from B& long Q) They don't mind being neglected for a week or two if you are away.


Oh and cats don't seem to like them so they (cats) don't crap in the pots.
