As my garden was finishing up this season, this plant started cropping up and growing very fast.

It has a hardy green stalk that starts turning black as it gets more established. It has small white flowers that turn into green berries then turn black. Sorry my pictures aren't better.

I have never planted anything like this and I have already pulled out several of them. They did not want to come out, very well rooted.

Thanks for any help.

I would agree that it is most likely some type of nightshade! Careful - I think that it's poisonous!
