I have one tomato plant (tomato tree??) that is doing amazingly well. It's huge, like 5ft tall! With lots of thick stems branching off, and about 12 big tomatoes growing on it right now still green. I think they were "better boy". The one next to it is pretty good too, about half it's size, the rest (6 more) are ok, kinda puny though, like 2 tomatoes on each little plant. They get almost the same light, same water, same mulch, same composted manure went into the whole bed. Last year I grew green beans on half this bed, the half these 2 good plants and 2 other more puny ones are on. Maybe it's the nitrogen from those that's making this freakish big thing, but only really helping the one? How can I duplicate these results with other tomatoes next time? A winter crop of something nitrogen fixing over all my beds maybe?
