The Kitchen Bay, Laurus nobilis, is thought to have been first cultivated in the 17th century, & has been a herb garden essential ever since. These evergreen shrubs have aromatic leaves that are a culinary staple, bringing mouthwatering depth & a rich aroma to everything from soups, stews & curries to Bolognese & roasted or barbecued meats. They’re best when plucked fresh from the bush & simply added to the pot whole & left to infuse. Fresh leaves have a lighter, more floral flavour than dried leaves & can be kept in the fridge. If dried, they have a more intense flavour. They should be removed before serving unless they're ground or chopped. Bays are often grown in pots & respond well to training into topiary shapes. However, their lush, glossy & dense foliage makes them ideal for hedging & they make excellent structural features in formal gardens. They require little more than a light trim in early spring & summer to maintain the desired shape & will happily grow in sun or partial shade in well-drained soil. They’re also well suited to coastal locations. Fully deserving its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure that this is a proven garden performer, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience. You can therefore plant this in the garden with complete confidence, to be enjoyed for many years to come. It is also recommended as a ‘ Plant for Pollinators’, attracting bees & butterflies with its small lime green spring flowers. Supplied as a pair of established plants, 80-100 cm tall in 20cm pots, growing to a height & spread of 10 m (33 ft) if left unpruned. Care Bay trees will grow in any well-drained soil in a sunny position, & thrive in containers, as long as they are kept well-watered. Use a soil-based compost, such as John Innes No. 2, with extra grit added to improve stability of the post & help drainage as bay roots dislike sitting in wet. Add controlled-release fertiliser granules to the pot or use a liquid feed every two weeks from mid-spring to late summer. Check plants & repot every two years in spring so that the soil does not become exhausted & stale. Bay can withstand temperatures down to at least -5°C, but frost & extremely cold winter winds can damage the foliage, so protect plants with fleece if temperatures are likely to fall below this. Similarly, pots can be wrapped in bubble wrap to protect them. Any damage caused by winter cold can be pruned out in the spring. Trim lightly in early spring & late summer to maintain you desired shape. Contents 2 x Plants ...

- ideally with rainwater, while in winter you can reduce the amount
- allowing the surface to partially dry out before watering again. Always allow excess water to drain away. Overwatering in winter is one of the commonest problems, so err on the dry side.

Plant between March & May for harvesting from July to October. Organic Potato Fertiliser
- 1kg pack Slow release Organic Potato Fertiliser has been specifically formulated to provide your crop of potatoes with everything they need to produce a bountiful harvest. In particular it has been developed to promote the sustained healthy growth, making sure you get a good crop, whatever soil you have. Nutrient analysis (N:P:K) is 4:2.4:8 plus essential trace elements, & so is also suitable for use with any other vegetable crop. How to Grow Potatoes: Your seed potatoes will need chitting prior to planting. On receipt, stand them in an egg box in a cool, light room so they can begin chitting (shooting). Leave for 3-4 weeks, & short dark shoots (chits) will emerge. Take care not to damage these when handling or planting. Start with a little compost in the base of your container, about 6-7in (15-17cm). Place the tubers onto the compost & half fill the pot. Keep some horticultural fleece handy, should cold nights threaten. The green shoots will eventually poke up through the compost, & when they do, cover them with another layer of compost, water & feed. Keep on adding as the plants grow until you reach the top of the pot or bag. Keep your potatoes well watered as they grow
- dry conditions will result in a considerably reduced crop.
