But for reals: this looks like a Black Nightshade.
Plant height up to 24” (at least the ones in my garden); small with slender branching stems, like a bush bean.
Broad leaves
Little white flowers on little clusters of stems which droop like that when they turn into berries
When ripe, the berries turn black, less poisonous and tasty (please don’t just take my word for it 😂).
Not not to be confused with Bittersweet Nightshade (vining plant, red berries) and Deadly Nightshade (Belladonna: individual black berries, not clusters)
I went down a rabbit hole a couple weeks ago looking up various nightshades, and I found it incredibly funny that nobody was willing to say that black nightshade’s not poisonous. Like, there haven’t been many deaths ever reported, there are historical examples of people consuming it, people today claim to have safely consumed it, but something about it just doesn’t feel right.
That said, please don’t eat it, even if it’s not lethal, the effects it produces seem just terrible.
You can tell by the way it is.
