Thanks for the links, looks nice but the fact that "All parts of
the plant, except the ripe fruit, are poisonous" make it a no no
for me. I'll keep searching.

you know, that also describes tomatoes...
how old are your kids? by age 3 you should have them trained not to
put any plant matter in their mouth without your express permission
first.
i grew castor bean plants when i was 8 & my baby brother was 2. he
knew not to eat the seeds (and if you don't want seeds, just pick off
the flowers anyway). many common garden plants are poisonous in some
manner, so teaching kids/pets not to nibble is a priority.
just sayin'...
