Blackberry seeds and tomato seeds... hate them both with a passion. I have horrible teeth/bridge work and the seeds create havoc. If I had a spare 46 grand, I'd get em' all (what's left) pulled and get full implants top and bottom.

There is a city in Mexico that people go to for dental work. Implants would be harder though since you have to wait for the implant to bond to the bone

Wineberries - I assume these are not grapes?

We are having a bumper crop of wild blueberries, despite the super dry weather over the last few months. They grow in areas that are boggy in the spring/fall, so must have more moisture.

Wineberries are not a native species. They are an invasive Asian raspberry that likes to grow along semi shady woods or hedgerow edges and in moist areas. They are sweet/tart in flavor and at least around here never overly abundant. Long ago as a kid I picked a large quantity of them, and my mother made the very best jelly that I have ever tasted.

46 grand for full implants?

I have a genetic disease in my teeth that has cost me about half of my teeth. I have a permanent bridge on the bottom that was something like 4 grand and they wanted another 6 grand for the upper bridge. When I got done laughing I said that was fine but I guessed I'd get my money's worth out of the very uncomfortable partial that I have.

If I have to have any more work done I'm heading to a dental college. I figure so far I have about 15,000 invested in my teeth. Enough is enough.

Hopefully I'll get a chance to try wine berries sometimes, but if it is invasive I probably should not try to grow any here

I LOVE blackberries. Have been trying to convince Dh to let me plant some canes along the back fence, but so far he's against it.

Well if he ever decides its ok, i have lots of small plants springing up here.

The seeds are also bad for people with diverticulitis.

After you get to a certain age, most folks have some diverticulitis. I think seeds in moderation are ok. At least i have not had issues from it.

You could grow it in a bucket with holes drilled for drainage.
