I understand it's hard to get the vetch seeds out since they look so similar to sweet pea seeds, but have you had any other varieties of flower or vegetable have random things pop up in them? The only one I can recall is a rogue cabbage in a packet of broccoli from Real Seeds.

Some time ago I had a packet of regular leaved tomato seeds from Premier Seeds and two of the resulting plants were potato leaved (this also happened with some other seeds but their name escapes me).  I told Premier Seeds but they didn't even bother to reply.
