This has been growing in the pot with a strawberry plant and so far has produced more 'product' than the strawberry

The flowers are about the size of a pin head...really tiny.

Toni, I don't believe, Sweetie, that you have any strawberries in there.
I have looked and searched and can't find your little plant you have growing there. I think it's a weed in your area, unfortunately.

Barb, thanks for the chuckle. I have seen that weed growing rampantly in greenhouses and nursery stock. I try to watch it closely so it doesn't get a foothold in my greenhouse. Sorry I have never thought to get an ID on it , but now I will look diligently.

Barb and Chocolate....here is another photo of the unknown plant, I had cropped out the Strawberry plant in the first photo but in this one you can see it at the bottom of the photo.
So, yeah, I know the unknown is not a Strawberry

It could be Cardamine hirsuta. This is the time when they start to flower.

Jon, I do believe you have IDed it. I will check a little more tomorrow but from what I saw in a quick search it sure looks like mine.
Thanks Much.

I have never heard of the name before. I looked for an hour last night and found nothing similar to it but all I could think was that it reminded me of watercress,but I knew that wasn't correct. Glad the mystery has been solved.
