Fruit and veggie experiment?

Has anyone done any experimental gardening? By that I mean not stuck to the rules just to see what happens. Anyone been nicely surprised.
For example I have tried to over winter Sutton broad bean, they just about survived being drowned and snowed on but ended up with chocolate spot. I have stripped the infected leaves off and they look happier, not sure if the current flowers will run into pods or just die.
I also had loads of left over carrot seed which I scattered in between the beans. I won't thin them out and see what happens. (Probably lots of very tiny carrots).
