Hmm. Urban guerilla gardening …

If I were to walk around with a shaker full of seeds to sow in city cracks and barren spots, what should be in that shaker?

Replies suitable for Toronto are invited!
(I.e. hardiness zone 6 or lower, drought tolerant.)

These are some I've seen growing in cracks here:

Marigold
Cosmos
Thyme
Something else, add a comment!

@deborahh Marigold and cosmos and both beautiful and very hardy. They are drought tolerant and need no maintenance, and aren't invasive. Consider also violas, aka Johnny jump ups. They have cute little faces, self-seed (but also aren't very invasive), and do just fine without maintenance.

@WanderingHuman @ChrisCorrigan what about climbing sweet pea?

@deborahh @WanderingHuman needs support, but yeah what a beautiful smell.

@ChrisCorrigan @WanderingHuman I'm thinking: sweet peas along train track fences.
I'ge notice numerous garden-escapees along the GO train tracks east of here. It always delights the eye.

I may be too late for this year, but I can scout for next year!
