THE LITTLE PLANT THAT COULD

The miracle in plot #38 

One morning Anne Alvarez discovered to her dismay that one of her US hybrid Kewala tomato plants had been knocked over and was lying on its side, roots exposed, little fruits drooping pitifully in the mud.  The poor plant had already been suffering from spotted wilt virus.  Its fruits had grown distorted and its leaves were dying.  But Anne didn't give it another thought.  She dug a hole, plopped the little plant in it, and watered it.  Against all odds, it didn't die.  On the contrary.  Even with all its leaves gone, it went on to produce 8 tomatoes that grew almost bigger than the plant itself!  

How are you like this little Kewala tomato plant?
