I am retired and enjoy pottering in the garden. I love the wildlife that visits. I don't like pulling anything up so my garden is unorganised like me

We need rid of the caravan. Bought it as a playroom for our children who are now grown up. Still has their toys in but they have nowhere to put them so we are stuck with it 🤪 @sharonhayden

@KatieCat I have several bays but I only occasionally use the leaves. I have taken cuttings and given them away once established. Should have a bay farm lol 😂😂😂😂😂

@fuschia pearl you really should start a bay leaf business, I use lots of bay leaves when cooking and they are so expensive to buy

Is the pot big enough? Try potting into a bigger pot and put some gravel in the tray so the pot is not stood in water.

fuschia

Thanks. I will try that as I have never repotted it. Will it be ok to do it now do you think?

comment
joanboston

I'm sure it will be fine @fuschia

I agree with Joan... It looks like it needs a little more room to spread its roots plus it probably got a little water logged. I'm sure repotting in something larger will help. Good luck 👍
