I'm far too scared to take any leaves off my little bay, it sulked for a

Thanks for telling me what bay seeds look like. I now feel a little stupid,
although those little peppercorn like thingies did look like they could have
been seed pods.

One it's started it'll grow like a teenager.

If you dry those buds separately, they can be ground with peppercorns to
improve the flavour of the pepper.

Don't overdo it though, as bay is mildly poisonous.
