My understanding of guerrilla gardening is that you didn't ask permission, you just planted stuff. That might save you a lot of grief.
If the field is barren anyways ...
I'm planning on some guerrilla planting of wild edibles like sumac. I have the seeds, it's just a matter of going on a little walk. There are plenty of unused areas within a six block radius.
Another thing is that you might go around and ask people with fruit trees if they would be willing to let you pick them so the fruit wasn't wasted. You could give them some homemade jam or something if you thought that might help. Just a suggestion.
I wish more people planted fruit or nut trees here, the climate is perfect for them.
I did ask the people in my neighborhood, and they refused, saying it was their tree.
Ditto for wishing more people planted fruit and nut trees - including oaks that produce larger acorns because acorns are some good eating and a good substitute for flour in many cases.
Well, we're going to do that around downtown because figuring out who owns what and has the rights to what is complicated, so the waste areas down around the City Rescue Mission and City Church and such will just be randomly planted.
But there are other areas where ownership is clearer and the plots are larger, so it makes sense to ask first. If we make it clear that we understand we'll lose the garden if the owner decides to sell or develop the plot, they may be more willing to allow it.
