What is this?

Can anyone identify this bush? Are the berries edible?

This is pokeweed, and the berries are NOT edible.

The berries are not edible. I noticed an abundance of this in my garden beds this year - must have had seeds in some of the peat or dirt I bought. It is stubborn and a vigorous grower.

I like your blog!

Thanks for the posts.
It is indeed pokeweed.
The net is great once you know a name to lookup, you can always find pictures to identify plants and trees.
