What's this? I have a lot of it in my garden, and I want to know if it's edible (and therefore worth keeping) or not (and therefore I should treat it as a weed).

It's not as bad as bittersweet! I spent an hour this morning pulling at pernicious bittersweet roots that permeated the patch of ground where I wanted to plant a rose. I did finally succeed in my quest, but it took four different tools (shovel, hoe, heavy-duty clippers, and garden fork), and there are still plenty of roots in there which will continue to sprout more accursed bittersweet in the years to come. I'll bet it likes the compost I added, too. [end rant]
