Last year my husband found these growing next to our deck, I was hoping someone could tell us what it is, so I can decide if they need to be pulled. Thanks. Moderator's note: added a more descriptive title to topic
Phytolacca americana (American Pokeweed ) It is edible if you learn the proper way to cook it without poisoning yourself and others but I just let it grow for the birds, they love the berries.
