    I have 2 blueberry bushes that I am growing in 2 separate pots, purchased this year and planted with the same soils. A couple of weeks ago a plant grew out of the pots, amazingly rapidly, over the course of a couple of days. I now have the same thing in the other blueberry pot as well.
    It may be as simple as this is some sort of sucker, but it looks totally different from the blueberry. The stem is also squishy, not at all like the blueberry stem. I have tried to include a variety of pictures to help the ID.
    I would like to know what it is so I know whether to pull it or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

    Purslane, perhaps.

    Purslane, for sure. It's a common weed, but edible.
