    Please help us identify this plant, it is growing along the back fence of our new place. We have little children who might eat this. Should we worry? I have attatched a picture. Or I am going to attemt to. I tried once and lost the hole post. LOL

    The Tomatoe/Berry Question

    Here is what it looks like on the inside. It stinks on the inside when cut, also leading me to beleive it is a berry, maybe a plant berry? This was found in Buffalo, NY too. Got any ideas? I have been on her for hours trying to figure it out.

    Looks like a Solanum dulcamara... IT'S NOT EATABLE, IT'S TOXIC!
