I’m pretty sure this is nightshade with purple flowers and red berries. It grows all over my kid’s playhouse We’ve been decorating mud pies with them for years! I just found out that they’re poisonous!!! Along with the crown vetch growing all along the ground around it ….. sigh….. They’re both such pretty plants that I was happy to let them grow….. FOR YEARS! Glad I didn’t poison any neighborhood kids not to mention my own!

Crown vetch…. it’s so pretty especially when it’s coveted with pale purple flowers…. I’m gonna miss it… :/

Split this off into its own thread.
2 is foxtail grass. BAD STUFF
3 is Lamb’s Quarters. Edible
The thistle is Bull Thistle I think. Parts are edible but not worth it as far as I care.
That one does look like nightshade. The berries, like tomatoes, are purported to be edible.
Getting ready for work will bet to more later.

Thank you so much! I hope I’m not being annoying with all the questions. It’s just so exciting to have someone that I can ask instead of spending countless hours online wondering if my plants match any of the pictures! Btw… I did taste a red nightshade berry once. Barely touched the tip of my tongue to see if it was bitter. It WAS! And my tongue went numb! That’s when I decided to just stick to decorating mud pies with them! Lol :/

The leaves are too fine and frilly, Dorothea. My best guess would be flixweed, but the flowers are too dense for me to decide for sure.

Looks like Flixweed to me. Medicinal
🙂 Get a plant in your hand and google some pictures to be sure. It’s kind of hard to make out the flowers.

Thistle. I don’t know which one. They’re edible if you don’t mind working for half an hour to get a skinny piece of celery. Great weightloss strategy.
