Could I get sued if I plant an edible plant on publicly accessible commercial property?

I got sunflowers which grow seeds at the head, but I'm scared that somebody will sue me for thousands of dollars if I plant them outside. Where I plan to plant the plants is on commercial property that I own but is publicly accessible that is about 10 feet away from a sidewalk.



Already paid seven thousand dollars settling a lawsuit, all because a toilet paper roll in the bathroom was 2 inches below the Americans with disabilities act guildlines. Which supposedly caused severe emotional distress.



Now I'm afriad that if I plant these plants somebody will try and eat them then sue me for getting sick if they do. I won't use pesticides or any chemicals on the plants and want to use them for ornamental purposes.

I am not an attorney, but common sense would dictate if you own the property, anyone who comes onto your property and eats the sunflower seeds does so at their own risk and if you want to stretch it a little more, technically, if they do not work for you or have any business on your property, they could be liable for trespassing.
Reply:Could you get sued? Of course you could get sued. This is 2008 and we have idle attorneys around every corner. If you are concerned, don't plant them.

Reply:Since you have all ready been sued after a lawyer went into your bathroom with measuring tape to measure the proper inches pertaining to your rolls of toilet paper, I would think that you would use common sense and plant your sunflowers on your own private property. I would plant them in my back yard and put up a fence. The American Disabilities Act loves to find a bathroom that is not designed for the unfortunate in wheelchairs. What if a wheelchair rolled right next to these sunflowers and ate one? Or a seeing eye dog ate it and died? The law pertains to the seeing eye dogs rigidly.Wow!
