During the 90 days of spring it grows from a seed to about 1 or 2 feet tall. The leaves are kite-shaped, with the stem attached to the head point of the kite. Each leaf is around 1 or 2 inches long. The main stem has branches, and the leaf stems branch from the branches. They seem randomly spaced, mostly alternating. The leaf edges tend to be concave and serrated, but seem a little random. There have not been any flowers yet, not even buds, so they probably bloom in mid to late summer. It's almost sure to be the kind of plant someone would want in a garden, because the seeds came from garden seeds, but the person who planted them forgot what they were, and says "thought they were marigolds, or maybe tomatoes".
They definitely don't look like marigold plants. They do vaguely resemble tomato plants, but have enough differences to make it clear that they aren't ordinary tomatoes, and probably not tomatoes at all.
