[It is green leafed with clusters of green berries about pea sized
It will grow in the middle of other weeds and overwhelm them.]
Welcome to my world of Poke Berry weed, I'd guess. Welcome to the club!!! (Phytolacca americana). I guess it's officially "Pokeberry".
When they mature, they will go purple (left) but start out green (right). Poisonouse to humans and animals, in sufficient amount.

Welcome to my world of Poke Berry weed, I'd guess. Welcome to the club!!! (Phytolacca americana). I guess it's officially "Pokeberry". Thanks for the reply, but this weed is different than what I went on the internet to invesetigate based on your info.
I walked out on my back porch and took a close look at the green berries and each one has a short spike bout 3/16 of an inch protruding from each pea sized berry.
Also they do not turn to a different color although I have some weeds that do in my backyard and may very well be chokeberrys.
These long slender feelers protruding from this plant that have a curved end are a distinctive characteristic. You can cut them back but they will regrow. -Tom
