In Wellington botanical garden (NZ), bay leaves grow into bushes at the herbs garden:)
Wed's Worldfarm-excursion, little bay leaves plants from Holland are for sale at $18 each. That's expensive for a small herbs... but i simply couldn't resist. So it was acquired!

Hi..is absolutely cool that you can grow so much in your flat...my flat did not have a nice balcony like yours and anyway not much sunlight. Our family has migrated to Melbourne two years back. It is only last winter that I started my gardening. Following your blog cos I love herbs & spices! :)
hi savvymummy,
here's a not-so-clear pic of the bay on the right of foto. wat u can see on the foto are the shorter stems inside the balcony, the taller stems are all sun-tanning outside thru the gap between the wall and perforated-metal.
