I envy your Bay tree- I had one in ground in FL, but can't do that here. Nothing like fresh bay leaves for seasoning roast beef or anything.
I haven't made my mind up yet.
The soil is rather sorry in the spot but the wild beans seem to grow okay in it.
Someone sent me some giant seeds for a Japanese type runner bean but I think I will plant them in another spot.
What I have are Rattle Snake and Kentucky Wonder but I might go get a package of yard long beans and plant there.

I have two of the bay trees. one grows as an under story farther back in the trees it does fine.
When I pick the leaves I only get the ones that have been eaten on by bugs sometimes.
