Last week me and Caroline did some seed sowing in the comfort of my apartment. Still, I feel like it isn’t enough to satisfy my gardening love.</p> <p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3604/3390322279_6ac210b98a.jpg?v=0" width="500" height="333"/></p> <p>via <a target="_blank" title="Caroline's flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sugarandtrees/">Caroline’s Flickr </a></p> <p>I have known about <a href="http://www.guerrillagardening.org/">Guerilla Gardening</a> for a while now and have always wanted to join in. I have not found anyone in Montreal doing it yet - plus, believe it or not, it is totally illegal. Since I do not have much growing that I can share anyway, I decided to make some seed bombs sometimes this or next weekend. Seed bombs are basically a mix of clay, compost and seeds made into a small ball then dried. They can be placed/thrown anywhere and should germinate once it rains.
