nightshade/potato/tomato family

edit d'oh - I didn't read, just looked at image, you already figured that out

I would check with somebody local (extension agent, master gardner) some of those things are pretty toxic for mammals, no idea about chickens, although birds can eat a lot of stuff. our three local weeds in that family don't get eaten by much of anything (a couple ground cherries and datura)
