Botanical mathematical scientifical speculational assertion.

I bought a tomato plant Saturday.
The tag claims maturity in six to eight weeks.

So if one tomato plant matures in eight weeks,
will eight tomato plants mature in one week?

2. No - eight tomato plants will mature in 64 weeks, although some of those
weeks will be concurrent. However, 8 tomato plants will attract 8 times as many birds, so you will get 1/8 as many tomatoes...

5. Let's see .. eight tomato plants, divided by eight tomato cutworms...
Unless you have a tomato cutworm detector/alarm.

But yes, your theory is correct. Just like impregnating nine women will produce a baby in one month. This is right out of "Project Management 101" (or is it "Project Management for Dummies"?).

Bon apetit.

:hi:
