Guerrilla gardening: pirate DIY produce?

A wolf howling at the moon
So let's see... we've got the green movement, the organic initiative, and hemp-wearing vegan naturalists. What could be next? I guess it had to happen; we now have guerrilla gardeners out there, doing their thing in the dead of the night under the cover of darkness.

Exactly what is a guerrilla gardener?

They're also called "pirate farmers" and they plant produce and flowers on land they don't own. Since this is technically trespassing, they have planting parties at night when they're less likely to get caught. These operations are called "troop digs", unless of course it's a solo renegade farmer. Then it's "seed bombing." Sounds like fun doesn't it?

Are you ready to start digging?

Groups are already acknowledged and active in Berlin, London, San Fransisco, and Miami. Who knows how many are still undercover? Why not start your own midnight garden club? If you do, I hope you're in my area; I'd love to wake up in the morning with a lawn full of free organic produce!
