what did I plant?

I admit it. I totally have no idea what is growing in my old tomato pot. I used an old pot with leftover tomatoes rotting from last year, to try to transplant a few different kinds of seeds, but nothing took. I don't even remember now what they were and then I stuck a 2 dollar smoke tree in the middle. In addition to the smoke tree, these are growing like mad. What are they? Weeds or??

Solanum nigrum - Black Nightshade or similar weedy nightshade. (I see what you mean vetivert but you can see the flowers)

Did you grow Garden Huckleberries (Solanum melanocerasum) last year? Otherwise, Solanum nigrum is a good guess.

Thank you!! I now am sure it is nightshade. It was pulled up all over the yard last year and it finally is starting to look like it self seeded in the pot. It was not one of the seeds I planted. Those were veggies or perennial.
