Okay, I am now talking to myself. Honest I showered. I guess I had better get off this before I get in trouble. Will someone come and build me a coop? Please!!!! I just need it studded/framed in...I can finish it. I just don't know how to do....no mater how much reading I do on how to do it.

Alright...night all.

Rainwolf,

I seriously meant to type Turkish Bay Laurel.  I was having the *exact* same discussion with someone while typing my post.  Serves me right for multi-multi-multi-tasking!  We live in a rain shadow and some folks refer to this ten mile stretch of 101 that we're dead center in as "The Banana Belt" so things grow here that don't in other places.  Or, they would if we had some dirt rather than live on a pile of rocks.

Just a heads up.... California Laurel is not Bay

California bay (Umbellularia californica) is sold to you as bay leaves you buy at your grocery store and use in your recipes. It is cheap and fast growing plant so it is commonly used by food industry.

Laurus nobilis Bay Leaf Tree Native to Mediterranean regions. Mediterranean Bay Leaf Tree is used in cultures worldwide as a essential cooking spice. It is slower growing and more picky about where it grows.
The two trees are not even in the same plant family and there is no comparison between the two for culinary use.

I have some Mediterranean bay in my yard if you would like some to compare

My trees were not supposed to survive the winters here, so were planted close to the house for warmth and protection...... now they grow to fast and winter does nothing to them.... This means I have 5 trees in my side of house planter boxes/areas.... Yikes!

Oooooh, plant-nerd here.  I just can't ignore little mistakes like this, so forgive me.  I will positively implode if I don't correct, so please please please indulge me a bit!

The two trees are indeed in the same family, Lauraceae.  California Bay is just Oregon Myrtle, one and the same.  Those **** Californians just cornered the common-name-thing for the culinary market.  One "laurel" doesn't belong in that family--English laurel, also called cherry laurel-- and belongs in the rose family, being the same genus as cherries and plums ("Prunus").  That's your ultra-common "laurel" used in hedges.

I do agree about the flavor.  We live in a colder area of the Wet Side, but this winter our laurel didn't die back to the roots like the previous 3 winters.  

 

I would rather someone correct me if I make a mistake then keep making the same mistake cuz no one told me...
Thanks!

Do you have blueprints? I have a co-worker who is a cabinet-maker and said he'd build me one....I have been sending him some designs....not fixed on price, yet...but he might have time to build you one this summer, too!
