Burpee seeds

[snagfinder]

Anyone ever had this problem? Planted burpee broccoli seeds thinned to 10 plants. What grew was 1 broccoli and 9 cauliflower.  Planted and thinned kohlrabi which is what grew except for 1 bid weird kale looking thing. Just wondering if this happens alot im kinda new in this gardening game

not to me it hasn't.......to that extent anyway. that's pretty bad. I have had that happen when I've purchased seed bulk at the local hardware store, never when I bought seeds in  the little packets. and have bought several different brands.

Occasionally I'll get an off-type in some radish packets. A few times over the years in a transplant pack I've had a broccoli plant show up in a 4 pack that was supposed to be cauliflower. Otherwise nothing wholesale like you describe snagfinder.

I thought maybe it was just packaged wrong but what are the odds i got 1 broccoli if that was the case.  Hopefully the kid will eat it.

Can't say for sure how it might've happened. I know a few times over the years someone has received a bag of seed corn or soybeans that were traced back to a poor cleanout at the plant before starting a new variety or batch of seed. One time it was non-GMO corn that wound up in a pallet of Round Up Ready. Was a real mess after the field got sprayed with glyphosate. Fortunately the farmer saved the seed tags so they were able to trace it back and identify the problem. If you still have the seed packet you could contact the company to let them know.
