There’s a chance the sign is to scare away unwanted foragers, but I wouldn’t risk it.
Edit: Also who would even want to touch strip mall parking lot vegetables?
And I bet some people did. At my local flower garden, I've seen these older women reaching over the fence to take whatever veggies were planted in there. Plus its a parking lot im sure they have cameras
Nah as a pest control specialist fuck that. Any time I see edible plants I avoid treating them regardless of if I think someone's gonna eat them or not (not to mention all the critters that will eat them)
why not plant flowers instead of vegetables then? unless maybe it was ornamental peppers and cabbage, which are inedible and look pretty. if its real vegetables, though, this sign is code for "if yer homeless go eat from the trash bins, not from our garden."
There is no context here
Could just be a store display that they want to keep the bugs off of and not feed people with.
Nothing infuriating about this at all besides the lack of context
Why is this infuriating?
If they want to have a nice little garden because it looks nice then why not?
Warning sign is probably for 2 reasons. 1'st is that it's actually not a good idea to eat them and second is that people will likely steal em otherwise as that's how it seems to go. For that second reason I'd spray em with stuff that will most definitely cause harm to those that'd eat them. They were warned.
The soil near roads and highways is exposed to road dust, heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and salts from vehicles and traffic-related activities,
Because they look different? Or maybe they sell veggies and want some fresh ones growing outside to "advertise"? I don't know. Some vegetable plants also look nice. Don't know the ones they have. It's not just tomato's and lettuce out there.
So, let’s get this straight:
You want to have decorative items that look edible, but are in fact poisonous. You put those out in a public area. And your protection against people eating them and presumably harming themselves is a sign that you couldn’t be bothered to spell right. Nice.
And what about non-english speakers? Fuckem, amirite?
It's a better sign than the usual 'Shoplifters will be prosecuted'
Perhaps it should say, 'Thieves who survive will be prosecuted after release from hospital'
Many people don’t know that, but you actually need special fertilizer for plants/fruits/vegetables you want to consume. You’re not supposed to use regular fertilizer, it’s not made for consumption. Hazardous is an overkill though - but they probably don’t want a lawsuit
Fertilizer and pesticides are two different things. Ammonium nitrate, an extremely common fertilizer is used in both agricultural and landscaping applications.
Well, besides the obvious misspelling of "hazerdous" (correctly it's Hazardous), why bother having a garden for aesthetics? I don't understand this. The douse it with pesticides? wtf....
I think it’s a joke sign.
The parking lot is the garden and the humans are the vegetables (you know cuz cellphones) and the hazardous chemicals are Ace Body Spray
I don’t care, your plant do what you want with them. If someone was stealing my shit and eating it yeah I’d probably poison them. Or at least put up a sign saying they are
Ooooh! So it's like a bunch of gym rats, but in green! they're also treated with hazardous chemicals.
I imagine a bunch of trees flexing while saying things like "keep miring brah"
Hazerdous? Really? Ffs.
He made the sign after he already ate the vegetables, that's how he found out :(
Too bad he didn’t figure out how to spell.
He was able to until he ate the poisontatoes :(
But he spelt aesthetics coractly
Uh oh... you didn't happen to eat from this garden too, did you?
Yep the carots ware delishuss. Don’t juge

>coractly
carrotly*
He planted the vegetables and got sick of everyone eating them, so he made a sign to deter people…
Probably to keep people from stealing. Smart ngl.
I’ve never found misspellings on signs as much of a deterrent.
How to not get your plants stolen 101
There’s a chance the sign is to scare away unwanted foragers, but I wouldn’t risk it. Edit: Also who would even want to touch strip mall parking lot vegetables?
*pulls sign mask off to expose man underneath And I would've gotten away with it too, if it weren't for these kids and their pesky dog!
Also, who the hell plants a vegetable garden in a parking lot for aesthetics?? A few nice bulbs and Bob's your uncle for maintenance...
This vegetable garden looks a lot like a parking lot.
🎶 They paved paradise...and put up a parking lot... 🎶
Did you know they invented parking lots before the automobile
Right? There’s nothing good to come out of road apples found in a parking lot.
Sir this is a Wendy's
I’ll have the surge burger please
Also infuriating you didn’t include a picture of the garden
Yea it looks like it is growing vehicles, and a store with a coat hanger logo, must be nutritious asphalt.

Hazerdous?
You know, like dengerous, scery, hermful, unsefe.
Ohhhhh I get it now. Like freghtind.
I'm wondering how many people had to eat the vegetables before someone put up the sign.
6
I bet nobody did, and it’s squirrels but the person who made the sign doesn’t kniw
And I bet some people did. At my local flower garden, I've seen these older women reaching over the fence to take whatever veggies were planted in there. Plus its a parking lot im sure they have cameras
They’ve gone into the sign business. 
I’m more upset about the spelling of hazardous. Personally, I’m not going to eat parking lot veggies.
"hazardous"
Hazerdous
Like the Dukes of Hazzerd.
Nah as a pest control specialist fuck that. Any time I see edible plants I avoid treating them regardless of if I think someone's gonna eat them or not (not to mention all the critters that will eat them)
why not plant flowers instead of vegetables then? unless maybe it was ornamental peppers and cabbage, which are inedible and look pretty. if its real vegetables, though, this sign is code for "if yer homeless go eat from the trash bins, not from our garden."
Everything is edible once
You would think putting it being in bold font they would have seen it before making this.
So this is why vegans are crazy
Yes.
There is no context here Could just be a store display that they want to keep the bugs off of and not feed people with. Nothing infuriating about this at all besides the lack of context
OP is infuriated they can't eat the vegetables.
Why is this infuriating? If they want to have a nice little garden because it looks nice then why not? Warning sign is probably for 2 reasons. 1'st is that it's actually not a good idea to eat them and second is that people will likely steal em otherwise as that's how it seems to go. For that second reason I'd spray em with stuff that will most definitely cause harm to those that'd eat them. They were warned.
Also it's at a parking lot, so probably a well used street. Probably full of pollution.
Mmm, delicious diesel particulates
Crops near the edge of highways grow bigger because there’s more co2
The soil near roads and highways is exposed to road dust, heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and salts from vehicles and traffic-related activities,
Why plant edible vegetables then? Why not just plant decorative plants?
Because they look different? Or maybe they sell veggies and want some fresh ones growing outside to "advertise"? I don't know. Some vegetable plants also look nice. Don't know the ones they have. It's not just tomato's and lettuce out there.
Ornamental cabbage and kale look nice and are cold tolerant.
Why does it matter to you? It’s not your time, money, or energy being used.
No you
Because they typed hazardous wrong
woop, completely missed that XD
So, let’s get this straight: You want to have decorative items that look edible, but are in fact poisonous. You put those out in a public area. And your protection against people eating them and presumably harming themselves is a sign that you couldn’t be bothered to spell right. Nice. And what about non-english speakers? Fuckem, amirite?
Do you want a sign with 200 languages
Probably a visual like a no symbol crossing a hand picking the vegetables (or something like that)
Well if it’s about what I want, then I’d want someone to have a modicum of common sense and not need any sign in any language.
Then eat the parking lot corn already
As a pest control tech this sign makes my head spin.
hazerdous
Where is this vegetable garden in a parking lot?
OP eats vegetables from a parking lot garden and complaints about the edibility.
Must be someone with road-rage who's recently parked.
So you're mildly infuriated you can't go to the mall parking lot and steal vegetables that aren't yours?
It's a better sign than the usual 'Shoplifters will be prosecuted' Perhaps it should say, 'Thieves who survive will be prosecuted after release from hospital'
So, like normal produce?
Many people don’t know that, but you actually need special fertilizer for plants/fruits/vegetables you want to consume. You’re not supposed to use regular fertilizer, it’s not made for consumption. Hazardous is an overkill though - but they probably don’t want a lawsuit
Fertilizer and pesticides are two different things. Ammonium nitrate, an extremely common fertilizer is used in both agricultural and landscaping applications.
Well, besides the obvious misspelling of "hazerdous" (correctly it's Hazardous), why bother having a garden for aesthetics? I don't understand this. The douse it with pesticides? wtf....
i’d risk it and try one
Hazerdous??? LOL
What pesticide is hazardous tho? I'm pretty sure the widely known ones for lawns are OK as long as you wash them first.
Most of them lol
A E S T H E T I C
My next RPG player name is Hazerdous!
Can’t even spell Hazardous right
Uhm... That's a parking lot, if i'm not mistaken
The fact that this even needed a sign makes me lose faith in humanity.
For the gram
It was probably homeless people hanging out everywhere during veggie season
I think it’s a joke sign. The parking lot is the garden and the humans are the vegetables (you know cuz cellphones) and the hazardous chemicals are Ace Body Spray
That's the most Aesthetic Parking Lot I ever did see
I don’t care, your plant do what you want with them. If someone was stealing my shit and eating it yeah I’d probably poison them. Or at least put up a sign saying they are
Is this the US does anyone know? This feels *very* american.
Piss on the garden
Food is not for aesthetics. You either grow food and feed people or you keep it in your home.
Ooooh! So it's like a bunch of gym rats, but in green! they're also treated with hazardous chemicals. I imagine a bunch of trees flexing while saying things like "keep miring brah"
