Certainly one of the nightshade family as are potatoes and tomatoes. If it is in your garden I would remove.

I seem to remeber that I was corrected last year for calling it 'deadly' nightshade. Someone thought that it was woody nightshade. The comments above still apply, though.

I dont think it is woody nightshade as the flowers are white and yellow as woody nightshade flowers are purple, I thought it could be black nightshade but just am not sure, thanks guys and ladies

It's Solanum nigrum, an annual weed of disturbed ground.
