;+)!!!
That's the beauty of Steemit.
We learn from each other.
Peace!
That's what I'm hoping to do, learn. Have a good evening.
Hi @outwalking...I came across a resteem of a post I read 8 days ago. I'm including the link. The berries in your photo resembles those they were drying...black currants.
Hope this gets you closer to determining what fruit it is. If you didn't plant it, a bird probably dropped a few seeds along the way.

Peace.
I think you're right. I didn't even think of currant because I thought currants grew in colder weather. Thank you so much.
I can hardly wait for an official verdict. What a blessing if it's currants. If they're growing in less than conducive environment, it's definitely God smiling on your efforts.
Peace.
As soon as I found out, I will let you know. Thank you for your help. Have a good evening.
Good morning, I went to the local nursery and they weren't sure what it was. I got a response today from @amymya and it was suggested that it might be 'potato fruit'. amymya's post is below. Still searching. Have a nice day.
OMGoodness...potato fruit?..That's a new term for me...I just took a look at the images. I'm presuming the flesh of a potato and the flesh of a berry would be helpful in distinguishing.
Perhaps, you could drop it by the horticultural department at a local college, or, maybe a garden society.
I know it seems like going far out of the way; but, food safety is what stands out the most. I'm pretty sure, if it tastes good, and doesn't make you ill, it's probably safe; HOWEVER, don't take my word for it!!! ;+)
Keep us posted!
Peace.
Good idea, I'll check online for help. There is no college close that has a horticultural dept. I will keep you up to date. Have a good day.
I will bet any neighborhood landscaping crew could tell you what it is in five seconds...They probably mow enough of it down, especially if it grows randomly in the wild as yours.
:+)...
Peace.
