Kristi,
You are right- I don't plan to leave the bay there. I've actually killed two bays already, so this poor plant is where it is to see if I can keep it alive
I plan to move it in the spring.
There's a hyssop in there that I will be moving out probably today as well. It was just a tiny sprig, so this gave it a good place to grow a bit. I'm also considering moving out the chickory, but haven't decided for sure yet.
You are all in good company: the spiral is a magnet. Walking around it, you can't help but touch and brush and sniff! It's a destination place in the gardens. I love it!!
