What's this fruit or vegetable in my garden?

    Andy, it looks like either a stray potato that has flowered and set seed or Deadly nightshade. These plants come from the same family - Solanaceae. In both cases the fruits are highly poisonous so I personally would remove the plant.

    Looks like potato. Defintiely not deadly nightshade.

    Yes ... a potato ... dig it up and see if there are enough for supper.   image

    Put the green fruits in the bin as they're not edible and might be mistaken by a child for a tomato.
