The only foolproof solution to avoid the disappointment that comes from

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.

Were these commercially grown and marketed seed in the little
packets?

When I was about nine years old I decided to grow a vegetable
garden. Not knowing any better I planted what we had in the
house which was Pinto beans and popcorn. The Pinto beans were
pretty good as green beans.
