Well I went on a bike ride up dry canyon just so that I could eat some Thimble Berries. I saw them last Saturday on my ride but I didn't know what they were. So tonight I decided to go and try them out and they have a little different texture than they look like they have. The berry is very good at selling itself. However the selling point is also one way it has gotten to reproduce so well. From the outside the berry looks like it doesn't have a lot of big seeds, but looks are deceiving. There are actually probably more seeds than a raspberry and so there is actually a fair amount of seed crushing going on. The berry is what I would call not domesticated. We as humans have domesticated everything we really liked and put pressure on the plants to cater to us so much so that without our help the plants would die off without us.
