What does it take to grow a giant tomato? Genetics? Fertilization? Good soil? In an attempt to answer this question, I did some data mining on Fred's Giant Tomato Contest. It turns out that the number one factor in determining success is the first name of the gardener. Growers with first names "Aaron" or "Mark" grew 10 out of 11 of the top tomatoes, while growers with the first name "Fred" failed to bring a single tomato to the scale. Statistics are a powerful tool when applied correctly. I hope this analysis has been helpful.
