Not a tomato 🍅

Hi all, any idea what this is? Should be Maskotka tomatoes but I don’t think so?

    Hi debs. It kinda reminds me of a young cleome plant, but I haven't grown them for a few years so could I be wrong.

    Thanks, going to keep them and see what happens. Not sure how they got mixed up with tomato seeds but it will be fun to see what happens.

    You’ll know if it’s a cleome, they’re vicious plants they grow spikes down the stems when they’re bigger.

    @Lyn that doesn’t sound good do they at least have pretty flowers? I will hang onto them but if any spikes appear they may end up in the green bin!
