There are several unusual, to me anyway, low groundcover plants just off the edges of our back porch.
This one is well shaded by another outbuilding so the soil stays wetter but still dries out over the summer.

Here is plant #1...

Looks like Pennywort to me:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennywort

Some folks may call it Dollarweed though I think these maybe two different plants.  I don't know.

I don't feel Dollarweed has the separation in the leaf like pennywort.

Thank you Anne!
I looked at one pennywort that google lens suggested and that was not the one but it appears there are many called that so I will keep going in that direction.

Here's another...
Growing in the same area as the plant above...gets roof runoff so area is wetter than most.  

Plant #2

I kind of think I've posted this one before in it's own thread...will look for it.

That looks like some Geum species to me... Don't think it's Geum rivale, which is the one I'm familiar with, but it looks quite similar.

Thanks!
Maybe this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geum_canadense
I seem to remember a white flower similar at least to the photo in this article.

Thanks Trace!
I hope that's not it though since it's another buttercup...I don't remember yellow flowers...will have to watch for blooms.
It mentions that it dies back in the fall and this is looking like bright spring greens?

I believe that first one might be little leaf buttercup, Ranunculus abortivus. Might want to Google that botanical name and compare photos.

I’m less confident on the second one, but the others are probably right about it being a Geum species, possibly Geum canadense, AKA white avens.

Thank you Chas for both suggestions.
I think it is the buttercup as much as I wish it wasn't...can't remember flowers though so will know for sure in the spring.

The white avens also looks very likely.

Thanks everyone!

Anne, that is one I think I've ID'd in our garden and need to wait for flowers to be certain...here's a photo...

It is plant #3...

I agree about the flower.  I am never certain until I see flowers.

IDing plants is a fun game and that is how I found the forum in 2016.

Thank you Moshe!...that is concensus on plant #1 I think

I really wish it wasn't another buttercup though...we have a lot of another type.

Oh, I hope so!
Are you IDing the third plant I posted?

We've been eating it and like the taste but only have two or three plants so I need to let them go to seed.

Yes, the last one. Yellow rocket grows as a rosette in the first year and flowers in the spring. I taste the florescent too but it's too bitter for me. Nevertheless it provides food for insects early in the season, especially hover flies. Sometimes you wil see a whole patch of golden color in damp lower ground.
