    Ooh found these in my garden - what are they?

    Look what I spotted today in my garden... They are growing on some kind of climbing plant that is growing round an old dead elderflower tree. They are deep red, the size of a small cherry and look as thought they might taste like cherries too? Do you know what they are?

    That looks like Bittersweet Nightshade! It's poisonous!

    I'm no expert but I'd say they were berries.

    Yep, definitely Nightshade you got there - pretty, but poisonous.
