When I get old and have nothing to lose, I plan to become a world-famous graffiti artist. My goals? To beautify the world and subvert The Man. Until then, I can satisfy my lust for guerrilla aesthetic do-gooding with seed bombs by visualingual on Etsy.

We're not talking "KABOOM!" bombs. We're talking plump balls of soil stuffed full of seeds. Even for a black-thumbed ninny like me, it's easy: Order one of three different mixes based on your area of the country. Wait impatiently for the mailman. Open the adorable, hand-silkscreened muslin bag. Throw one of the five seed bombs into an area in dire need of beautification-- next door neighbors with the black lagoon pool, I'm talking to you. And then wait for a collection of native bird, bee, and butterfly-friendly flowers to burst into bloom.

Now's the time to order and bomb, my friends. Do it for that ugly patch of ground in the city. Do it for a friend's neglected flower box. Do it for  your own backyard. At only $7, it's a great way to spread beauty in the most naughty way possible.~Delilah
