I know certain Giant eagles offer small packs with a half dozen or so fresh bay leaves. Think it's a market district product. Should be near edible flowers, fresh poultry spice blend, and single sealed plastic fresh herb containers.

My husband gets them at Giant Eagle (in the produce section).

There’s a market district across the street from my main work site, lol I hate that I knew exactly where they were. But yeah, the ones your husband gets are probably the ones I’m thinking of.

I know I've seen them in the strip. I think it was one of the Asian markets.

I saw a bunch of Bay trees in DC last week; are Bay trees less common in Pittsburgh? Doesn't get any fresher than off the tree.

DC is a few growing zones south of PA. Bay laurel is generally only rated for zones 8 to 10. Not sure any of PA is even in 7

We’re 7a and 7b!

WinterWontStopComing t1_iyaitye wrote

I’m in 6. I hesitated on that certainty after the fact. Are you in south PA?

EDIT: okay TIL PA is 5B to 7A with small pockets of 5A and 7B according to google. I thought it was all 6A and 6B

TY, I was looking this up. If I used fresh herbs on any kind of regular basis I try and grab a little herb shrubbery and let it grow in my kitchen windowsill. But doesn't seem possible for bay, I'm not keeping a tree in my house and it won't survive outdoors.

I mean theoretically I think bay laurel is container friendly. And if PA extends through zone seven, it’s something that could be on a porch three quarters of the year and overwintered indoors.

Don’t quote me on any of this tho, lol I’m still in the process of waking up

Oh man! My mom has about a 5ft tall bay leaf plant! She’s been growing it for years. It’s great when I need some bay leaves. If you can’t find any PM me and I can maybe hook you up!

Not positive (I'd call ahead) but Linea Verde Green Market in Bloomfield always has things like this.

If you can’t find them at Giant Eagle, the strip is your best bet. Wholey’s or Lotus should have them. If not them somebody down there will.
