Hi tweeters, just got home and am reading a notice from Children's Hospital
that they will be spraying to kill the blackberries on their property. The
swath of Blackberries is about 3 blocks long and 15 feet wide, it is just
west of the Cottonwood trees that face Sandpoint Way NE. They say they are
spraying tomorrow 10/18 and that THEY ARE GOING TO LEAVE THE POISONOUS
BERRIES THERE UNTIL NEXT YEAR. My concern is what about the birds that eat
the blackberries over the winter. There are all sorts of yard birds here.
It's not that far from the UW Urban Horticulture Center. Can you HELP and
call Sarah Erickson at CHMC 206 527 3881.

thank you.
Deborah
