A seedling appeared two years ago, obviously Solanaceae. I thought at first Solanum dulcamara but it is short and bushy and tha flowers are white. I then thought maybe a chili pepper but the berries are small and black. I forgot to remove it before the seeds were ripe but none grew last year. This year there are loads of seedlings which will be removed long before the berries appear.

I think I've found it. I was checking the spelling of S. dulcamara and found Solanum nigrum. I think that might be it though the book says rarely found in Scotland.

I agree Roma, was just about to suggest this.

PS anybody know why the clock on this forum is 15 minutes fast?

Dunno - it's been like that for months.

Solanum nigrum... Eaten by some!
