Now we're finishing securing the tomato plants 🍅 to prevent any problems with the weight of the future harvest

For the past few days, I've been meaning to finish tying up the tomato plants 🍅 so they wouldn't break. As I mentioned before, they're starting to produce a harvest and were bending under the weight, as you can see more clearly in the photo. You can also see the other one I had already tied up; it was doing its job well, but I needed to secure it a bit more to avoid any surprises.

Like last time, I found a piece of a broom handle to place near the tomato plant. This way, it was very secure when I tied everything tightly with string, and the other end was attached to some nails that have been in the wall for a few years.

I performed this activity three times in total, since there were two ties per plant, but I had already done one as I had done previously. That's why today I only did three, to ensure a good harvest and avoid rushing to do something I should have done a while ago. I'm expecting a very bountiful tomato harvest, even though the plants are natural so far, without any fertilizer or chemicals, to increase the likelihood of a larger crop.

So far, there are two tomatoes on the first plant, with a very noticeable difference between them, while on the other there's only one, but there are a good number of flowers, so it could be even better in the coming days.

After that, all that was left was to water the plants, and when I have a little more time, I'll tidy up the surrounding area so the weeds don't hinder their growth, and give it a turn to prevent any problems that might arise. And so, this concludes my post for the #hivegarden community, where we showcase some of the nature that surrounds us and, at the same time, plants we can grow at home to grow our own food.
