Can someone identify this plant?

I planted a few new seeds this past week (soy beans, black russian tomatoes, and purple peppers) and shortly after this started growing. I dunno if I dropped a seed or what but it doesnt look like a weed to me. Thanks to anyone that can help!

It's really a close call between the soybean and the pepper. I'm gonna vote for the soybean, though. :lol:

well thats the weird thing...there are soybeans that I planted right next to where this one grew and they look nothing alike. the peppers were planted in a pot as well as the russian tomatoes....nowhere near the garden site. Shrugs.

I don't think it's a pepper. Looks like some kind of bean. Maybe some other bean got mixed in with the soybeans?

Here's a picture of a green bean plant

oh! that could be it! There actually is a green bean plant planted near by....but its been producing for months now. Do you think maybe a stray green bean got buried and sprouted??

That looks just like the green bean plants I have, too.

that sounds like a good guess.... See the thread about I love volunteers!
