You're right, they fibbed! Blinking But, this exact same experience happened to me. I purchased seed to a micro dwarf and it turned out to be the complete opposite! Hilarious! Just this year I had another issue: I bought Bulgarian Old Sort from a seller on eBay and they turned out to be stuffer tomatoes instead. Rolling my eyes. Where did you buy the seed? If you bought them from Amazon or eBay, chances are you'll get a flop. Hopefully you can make good on them, but hey, surprises are fun! And as a matter of fact, the stuffer tomato I got turned out to be a blessing in disguise! Thumbs up One of my family members discovered he had diverticulitis this year, and coincidentally, the seeds are VERY easy remove from stuffer tomatoes. So everything worked out alright! Maybe you'll find your surprise plants are better than you originally wanted. Smiling
But I agree you'll need to grow them in pots no smaller than a 5 gallon bucket. Indeterminate tomatoes need a lot of root room to be happy, otherwise they'll get leggy. (Learned that from experience. Smiling )
Ban the GMO tomato!
