Anyone got green fingers 
I like my plant life don't think they like me 
so if there's any Bill and Ben's out there I need advice
1. I've a bay tree which I brought indoors, the stem/trunk?  looks healthy, but like BA the leaves are a bit dry and crumpled looking. Is this normal at this time of the year?
2. I've a christmas planter, had nice white flowers (that died on me ) and what I'd thought was a mini artificial xmas tree til I was watering it one day and discovered it had roots alongside cascading ivy both the tree and ivy's looking a bit brown in places anything I can do to liven them up
3. Also I've a bonsai tree with branches and no leaves is this normal?
4. Good news though, I've 5 herb plants on the kitchen window that appear to be thriving
Any advice would be appreciated

| Get yourself a Triffidus Celestiis. It doesn't need much and the end result will be very pleasant for your fellow posters. |

Na, I don't think I want to be consumed by no plant, thanks all the same. Bet you threaten Baldrick with your greenhouse all the time.

| Not really. Badrick looks after the plants very well because he's allowed to eat the greenflies, midges and other pests .... like you and Carol! |

Is he using the kiss of life?
I used to have lots of cacti. But while I was in hospital after the events of the last year, Baldrick managed to get in and water them ... daily! I now no longer have plants in the mansion. 
But my foreign staff have indicated they would like to introduce some floral ideas and two of them used to tend the parklands of Belgrade. So I'm letting them take over that aspect of maintenance ... on condition that I allow them a 2 week holiday in August ... and I confine Baldrick to the cellars.
Seems like a fair trade to me. Though how they're going to afford it on what I pay them, I don't know! |

| Apart from your terrible usage of the "you're" word ... threats like that don't work with me, madam ... and I use that word a great deal of cynicism. |
