Title: Can anyone identify this please
Post by: petemason on October 24, 2008, 18:24:23
I've been doing a bit of weeding/tidying up and amongst the weeds that I recognise, I came across this..

Can anyone tell me what it is please? I've spent all afternoon trying to identify it and what I should have done is ask the experts on here.  ;D

My wife and I intend to look into the medicinal properties of herbs and weeds and because of the berries on this, I wondered if it was worth cultivating.
