Eastern black nightshade? Its a common weed and not a pepper, although it is a solanale.
Just typed "common weed with berries" into google. After lots of pictures of poke I saw this: http://www.extension.umn.edu/agriculture/horse/pasture/weed-seeds/img/3.jpg
Chris, you did. And after looking at the images for S.ptycanthum on google, I think you're right.
Shame. It's kind of pretty.

The one I had last year got massive and had 100's of berries/pods whatever they are...sucked it was too risky to keep around with young kids.scratchzilla said:
Yeah American Nightshade aka...
Solanum americanum
It is a myth that these are poisionus, they are like tomatos, posionus when unripe, but very edible when ripe... Remember, the berries are edible ONLY when ripe, I.E. totally black, very posionus when green, don't eat in large quantities... Taste like a very sweet tomato.
