possibility of packet seeds being weeds?
Maybe a crazy question but is there a chance that the packs of seeds I bought were nothing but weeds?
I did container plantings, all from seed packets, this spring. So far, every container has grown various weeds (purslane, lambsquarter & foxtail grass among others that I can't identify). The only things that came up as actual plants/flowers were some gladiolus. Also, these are weeds I've never seen in my yard and the way they grew up in the containers was in a deliberate pattern, as if they were intentionally planted that way.
WTH? I mean, I'm not great at gardening but this is ridiculous even for me. The containers were bought brand new & potting soil put in them just this spring.
Talk about feeling like a gardening failure!! 
Re: possibility of packet seeds being weeds?
You can definitely NOT get what the seed packet says it contains.
I bought Chinese Lantern seeds and started them indoors. I transferred them outside when they were about 8 inches high. They bloomed last week. They weren't Chinese Lanterns. I have no idea what they are.
Weeds are just the term for plants that don't have any medicinal, or flowery use
But that being said, if the packet of seeds wasn't machine packed, then it's human error
