I have a sacrificial front yard that’s designed to communicate to the neighborhood that I’m respecting the norms here and keeping a (little bit of a) trimmed lawn. Mullet landscaping: Party in the back.

And then I get volunteers like this Cut-leaf Grape Fern, Sceptridium dissectum. What a little treasure! Lucky me!

But I can’t just mow it. I guess I’m going to cross my fingers and try relocating it.

I feel like I need to keep everyone alive.

A Cut-leaf Grape Fern pokes up through some scruffy uncut lawn grass and duff. The single infertile leaf looks like a particularly chunky, stout little fern. The single fertile front, however, resembles quite a few long branches dotted with little green grapes. It sticks up toward the sky, while the infertile front lies flat out on the grass.
