        It's something from the Nightshade family (solanceae) - if he didn't plant it, I'd dig it out. Most of them are poisonous

              I would agree, nightshade, get rid of it.

                Yes, nightshade, probably this one. You know what to do.

                  Yes, this is Black Nightshade, awfully poisonous if eaten, or the sap gets into you...

                  The reason it looks a bit like Potatoes or Tomatoes is because they are all in the same family.

                  This plant got into your garden by means of bird poop.

                  Please be safe and dispose of it.
