How did it happen?

I'm very confused..

I filled up 12 modules with compost and put a Painted mountain corn seed in each, they are now growing...however one of the seedlings looks more like a french bean plant ???

The corn seeds were the only thing I planted that day, and I tipped the corn seeds into a bowl to sort the colours and individually labled each in the modules. The bean plant should've been a yellow corn seed.

I can't figure out where this stray bean seed has come from..could it be from the bought compost?

Could be, I've got a tomato in with my chili's

Most compost offered for sale contains a certain amount of green waste. Green waste is to a certain extent comprised of vegetation from gardeners who choose not to compost things disposing of their plants and/or people discarding their diseased plants & particularly nasty weeds. If the green waste is not composted properly then you could potentially find all kinds of stray seeds & various diseases are still viable in the resulting compost.
Most companies will have measures in place to prevent these things from happening but no method can be 100% effective 100% of the time so the odd stray seed is certainly possible.

If this was in a greenhouse/frame I would suspect a mouse moving a bean to eat later and getting frightened into dropping it... burying it for later... I sometimes get odd sweetcorn plants growing in the big greenhouse when mice have been raiding...  :-[

Well, I don't know how it happened, but I will keep the plant going, mainly to see what it produces. ;D :P

Any little helping hands that could have added their own offering of seed?  ;D

Actually...that's more than possible...time will tell, if it turns out to be the same type of french bean that we have already... ;)
