    If this has leaves coming off of a central stalk, as it looks like it does (the foliage tapering up to a point at the top, like a Christmas tree) it will not be a fern. Looks more like some sort of edible plant, maybe something similar to or related to arugula.

    The new leaves of the specimen(s) in question emerging as fern fiddleheads would be a definite hint.
