It could be a Pokeweed of some sort

yes i think pokeweed too. i think the berries are poisonous but if you know then there shouldnt be a problem.

Thank you for quick responses. Yes I think it must be what you say.

I thought this was a serious gardening site. I don't think the last 2 replies are really funny considering this plant is poisonous.

I apologise didnt realise you were upset about it

Sorry unclejack, we do sometimes like a gentle joke on this site too. It is a very interesting plant, the berries are eaten by birds and the leaves apparently can be eaten when thrice cooked! but I wouldn't try it myself. As you probably know, many of our common garden plants are poisonous and as seaburngirl says it should not be a problem now thatyou know.
