Please help plant ID, thanks! - bittercress

I have forgotten the name of this plant. It shows up late winter/early spring and I remember it's edible.
I'm sure someone here can ID it in a snap for me.
Thank you!

I used to spend time weeding it every year until I realized it disappears completely by June. It has a slight broccoli taste.

Could be bittercress?
See https://www.wildedible.com/bittercress for example.
It's a little bit small and close to the ground for easy foraging, but seeds around and nice and green in cooler weather.

Reading the description, I think you are correct. Thanks!

Chickweed?
If so, it's a delicious winter green

No, the leaves aren't correct for chickweed but thank you. Chickweed actually doesn't grow on my property which is a little annoying since everyone always talks about how good it is and that it apparently grows everywhere. 😂 My friend who lives about 20 miles away showed me chickweed at her place so that I could positively ID it.

It is Cardamine flexuosa or bitter cress. It is in the cruciferaceae (mustard) family along with collards, radishes, turnips, ect…. The leaves and flowers are totally edible. In fact, when it goes to seed it sometimes becomes bitter or a little spicy hot. When it is at this stage it makes an awesome pesto when ground up with a little olive oil. I also like to use it as an arugula substitute in salads. Once you have a good patch of it growing you’ll have it for a long time. You don’t need to fuss over it because it’s a weed and will take care of its self. However, being a weed it can be extremely invasive. When it sets seed, it forms small “torpedos” with 10 to 20 seeds in each. When the seeds mature the torpedo dries out and bursts open hurling seed for several feet in all directions. So, if you want to intentionally grow this plant, grow your patch away from your garden or flower beds, unless you enjoy pulling lots of little weeds. I grow my bitter cress patch in a large pot in corner of my yard with a lot of grass around it. Hope this helps.
