    From here it appears to be Chenopodium album, lamb's quarters. A very common weed and a tasty one at that. I can't be sure over the internet though, so don't eat any without getting a real physical ID of the plant.

    Not only are the leaves edible, but the seeds, present sometime during autumn and early winter, are edible when cooked. Lamb's-quarters (Chenopodium album L.) produces thousands of tiny, black seeds.
