Numbleweed?, Prostrate knotweed?  Doesn't seem to be these, or maybe.

Pretty sure Virginia buttonweed.  TU all

99% sure it's prostrate knotweed (Polygonum aviculare)

My best guess guess after a little digging around is could be doveweed (murdannia nudiflora).

If it is indeed doveweed, aka nakedstem dewflower and a few other names in english, I learned it is edible and is native to asia where it is used medicinally as a poultice for wounds such as cuts, scrapes and burns but can also be eaten. Here's a pretty cool website I found with some info on it.

If a tomato is a fruit, does that mean ketchup is a smoothie? What if we mix in a tiny ad?
