I live in Utah and have a bit of an obssession with having a unique yard. Last year I decided to plant castor bean by seed. I loved how tall they got and how they look. However, I will NOT be planting them this year and here is why.

My neighbor two doors down. Crazy man! Took some of the beans of a Castor Plant, crushed them up and was planning on using them as a weapon. They found him last week in a hotel in Las Vegas almost dead. He is still in the hospital from what Ive heard. He must have somehow gotten some into his system. The news said that it only takes a pin point ammount to kill you. Scary Scary

Just thought you'd find it interesting.
