Has anyone else had this problem?

Why does this happen? Are customers accidently switching the ID
stakes? Are children deliberately switching the ID stakes as a
prank? Are the companies that grow the transplants careless?

The only foolproof solution to avoid the disappointment that comes from
mislabeled transplants is to sow your own seeds, either directly in the
garden or in flats under lights.

Actually, I've had it happen frequently when planting from seed! It's
just as hard to tell a bell pepper seed from a hot pepper seed as it is
to tell the plants apart. One year my pumpkins turned out to be
strange yellow gourds.
