My Prodigious Tomato Plant

Having planted 8 tomato plants in the awful soil by my back porch, this incredible plant is about five times bigger than any of the others and is going to take over all the of limited space available and more.  Though I have a bachelor's degree in agriculture, I did not study tomatoes.  Therefore, I have no idea why this plant has flourished while the others, planted in the same rotten soil, are only a fraction as large.  Instead of tomatoes, we studied stuff like range management and how you count antelope droppings on the Wyoming prairie, irrigation of sugar beets, range grasses, and other things that, as it turned out, did not help me at all in my long career as an economist.
