Bought a variety of red and white (champagne) Currants on Etsy.. Not so sure I'm growing Currants.
As the title implies, I ordered a bunch of red and white Currant seeds on Etsy. In hindsight, I'm shaking my head (and laughing at myself) for making a seed purchase on Etsy, but the store reviews were decent and Currant seeds were surprisingly difficult to find.
Most of the seeds did not germinate but a handful did. Here are images of what is growing this far, about 3.5 months after germination:

Ignore the white diatomaceous earth powder in some of the photos.
The largest "berries" are currently 1cm in diameter.
My concern is that the shape of the leaves doesn't match what I'm seeing online when looking up Currant leaves.
The yellow berry is also confusing, but that should be in a red plant.. So maybe they turn yellow before red?
As someone who is drowning in tomatoes, these plants seem to closely resemble tomato plants, with the only difference being that they're very low to the ground at this point in their life, whereas every tomato variety that I've ever grown tries to sprout upward at least a foot before attempting to produce fruit.
Is there any remote possibility that these are Currants, and if not, can anyone speculate as to what they might be?
Edit: Thank you all for the kind and thoughtful comments. I think the verdict is that I'm growing "Currant Tomatoes", which is kind of ironic and funny.
I appreciate the responses!
