Unknown Plant

I'm at a loss. We purchased a package of Heirloom seeds. They were named "mortgage lifter". They are growing tremendously but they don't look like any tomato Ive ever seen. Huge leaves, huge white blossom.....very strange. HELP :shock:

I found a close-up of two Mortgage Lifter tomatoes, with some of their leaves in the background, at

https://monticellostore.stores.yahoo.net/600066.html

I noticed that the leaves have more "rounded" lobes than the tomatoes I'm used to. Is this what you're referring to?

I didn't see any discussion of white flowers, but I'm sure an Internet search on "Mortgage Lifter" + tomato + flower will give you some help. I only searched on "Mortgage Lifter" + tomato to find this photograph.

Oh, yes: do you remember where you purchased the seeds?

Hi Cynthia, Thank you for the input. I was going to include a photo of this plant but I cant figure out how to.
I bought the seeds at Home Depot.
