Please help with plant identification

Hello, I see these plants growing in my yard and I wonder if anyone can please help me identify them, perhaps let me know if they are edible as well.

I will note that even if someone gives me a positive identification that something is edible, I will double check, so you will bear no responsibility if I do get an upset tummy from eating something!

Two pictures from the same vine follow.

Thank you in advance for your time and expertise,

Happy gardening.

Hello amjad welcome to the forum. It would greatly improve the chances of an ID if you put your location in your profile.

Sorry, I just created a bare bones profile. I have updated my profile. I'm in London, Ontario, Canada and by the way this whole forum, this whole community has me so excited. I am entirely grateful to all of the contributors.

hi amjad, i JUST pulled out a bunch of these weird berries yesterday. they are NOT edible. they are solanum / night owls. they are technically considered vegetables somewhere in the world but here in europe we learn in school that they re poisonous. im sure you can read up some stuff online. but do not eat them.

oh, actaully i just researched some more. the red kind seems to be edible...... but i wouldnt... lol.

oh, to your second post:and i you have some fabulous red vine growing there! delicious! i just went through the vine country here and picked some yesterday. they are super sweet here in germany. ok. but its late. good night!

my guesses :

#1 - bitter nightshade


#2 - black currant - Ribes nigrum


#3 - wild grape - maybe something like a fox grape- or river grape - or maybe a cultivar variety...

Wow, thank you all. I will do a bit of due diligence on my part to confirm those, but again from the bottom of my heart, thanks. The expertise we have communally is invaluable.

Riverbank Grape (Vitis riparia)

The other 2 - English Ivy and Golden Currant

#1 is some type of nightshade

Before you eat anything, try to observe the flowers as well. Flowers are often a dead giveaway, or at least will point you to the correct plant family.

OP, do you know basic plant identification vocabulary? Knowing how to use the correct vocabulary to describe what you are seeing helps a ton too.

Edit: I just saw how old this thread is. 😂 I usually double check that kind of thing.

You're right Jenny, its a nightshade called -

Bittersweet (Solanum dulcamara)

I dont know why I said english ivy. I guess I was preoccupied with something else...

Hey, you know the specific name! That stuff (or a very similar plant) grows all over in a back corner of my yard but I hadn't learned the exact name yet.  Thanks!
