Thanks, jgorneau, for the help. It is a wild flower, not planted at all. I don't know if the pods will still be on the plant or not, but I will try to go back to the site where I took these photos this week. If the pods are there, I will break one open and put the photos here. :)

Was this planted? I'm still kind of thinking it is a Hungarian Vetch, but it could also be a Fava Bean (a species of vetch).

Are you able to access the plant? If so, can you please take one of those pods, open them up, and post a picture of them here too?

Looks like a Hungarian Vetch to me, but I'm not an expert with Vetches.
