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

I thought I had your answer. :) - well, good luck.

I’ve learned they infect cheap soil (maybe all kinds).

I’ve definitely bought cheap soil at various places over the years.
