Q: Dear Daisy: I have a Boston fern that I love. I have a husband, who I also love. When I went away for a few days last week I think he tried to kill my fern. He denies it. Now I’m rethinking this love triangle. What do I do? 

A: A Boston fern is a gorgeous plant (indoor in Vermont), and if loved and cared for, it can last for generations. It also cleans the air of pollutants.

How long have you had it? How long have you had your husband? How easy are each to replace. What special talents does your husband have? 

Think on it for a while and let us know what you decide.
