Huckleberries
 

If they are the things related to Night Shade ....When I grew them had a
fantastic crop. but didn't like the look or smell of them so binned the
lot.

"Huckleberry is Gaylussacia baccata.
There is another plant going under the name "Garden Huckleberry", see ....

As you will see this plant is a member of the solanaceae family as are most
of the nightshades.

I've just started working for a couple in their 80's who grow Huckleberries
each year from seed. Evidently you need to harvest them after the first frost
has hit them. They're good for jams, wine, cooking, etc. I think they told me
that they weren't to be eaten raw though (too acid/bitter).
