RE: Where did this come from?
Have you ever made oregano pesto? I have so much oregano, I certainly have! It self seeds everywhere (you know I love self seeding). I'm with you though, I NEVER have luck with peas - ever! Broad beans (fava beans) are easy, and snow peas (mange tout) but peas, nup.

Fava beans are very common here, so are lupin beans. And they're pretty.
I never made oregano pesto, the taste is very intense - but there is a sauce called "chimichurri" here that is basically a load of oregano, garlic and chili, all crushed together with oil. That's really good stuff.
As this patch of oregano was dying, I took some away and planted it in another pot. Who knows. Maybe it'll keep growing. In the real garden there are many herbs, and also a few oregano plants. But it's not doing thaaaat well, just growing here and there a little.
I make chimichurri! I love it.
The way I doy pesto is to mellow it a bit with kale, and add whatever nuts or seeds I have, olive oil and garlic, some fetta or Parmesan maybe. So it softens the oregano.
