There are several apps that you can download with names like "plant identifier" and here is a website. https://garden.org/plants/ If you find out, please let me know the plant name also. Thanks. Good luck.

  Thank you! It's definitely Purslane, the kind you can buy. Evidently, it's great for the soil, and edible.
