Help me identify this plant. I'm pretty sure this is a weed but what weed I'm not too sure. It sure is the nicest weed I have with the red balls. #plantid

What is a weed to one is a beautiful flower to another.

Yes I am:). Apparently the berries are on the bland side with a slight hint of strawberry and the leaves apparently are on the sweeter side of the green leaf flavor scale. Sounds good enough for me to try. A salad will pop with those berries

Although I just read the leaf greens do contain oxalates , so it's to be eaten in moderation. Guess we'll find out @gjones
