This one isn't deadly nightshade (Atropa belladonna) but woody nightshade, (Solanum dulcamara); as such, its berries are toxic and therefore inedible. It tends to appear on its own, so look out for more plants next year.

Looks like a Nightshade (solanum) , also known as Deadly Nightshade : strong hint that it is not eatable.
