Homegrown Tomatoes.
I thought i would post some photos of my Tomatoes. Tomato plants need a sunny position and planty of water and fertilizer to grow a good crop of fruit. Here in Sydney ,we have fruit fly and the Tomatoes can have grubs inside when they are ripe, which makes eating them a bit yukky. So we have to spray them with insecticide to prevent the fruit fly. Make sure you leave 2 weeks after spraying before you eat the fruit. Homegrown Tomatoes are the best !! I put mulch around the bottom of each plant to prevent weeds from growing and to keep the water in the soil so you don't have to water them as much. Here, i have used Sugar Cane Mulch, but you can use hay or straw too. 
The heaviest tomatoes recorded are 3.51 kg.
Congrats, you have won the Fav. comment award. This is very interesting information and also nice pics. Well done. Next time, give your source for the info and photos/pics.
Ohh thnks a lot ! ı am sorry. ı am so new for steemit . and next time i will do !
Oh yeah, great photos and you tomatoes look healthy and with a good harvest. Mulch - this is any material that is laid on the surface of the soil, in order to regulate its air and water regime. As it can act natural components or artificially created substances.
The benefits of mulching tomatoes in the open ground or in a greenhouse are: protection of the earth's surface from drying out; Under the layer of mulch, sunlight does not penetrate, which does not allow us to grow weeds;
the layer that comes into contact with the soil begins to rot in time and feeds worms, naturally fertilizing the soil under the tomatoes.
What is useful for mulching tomatoes with straw?
It is great for filling row spacing, not just covering the open ground in beds with tomatoes. In addition to all other advantages of mulch, straw enriches the soil with organic substances.
In addition, it creates the optimum soil temperature. This is especially important when growing tomatoes in the open ground. Because the straw does not allow the soil to cool quickly after a sudden spring frost. So, the metabolism between all parts of the plant will not be disturbed, because the root system will function normally.
Another benefit of straw is that stunted plants, whose fruits fall to the ground, are protected from the effects of the earth. Tomatoes lie on the straw, which means they do not deteriorate.

I agree with you @ctrl-alt-nwo sir,
Homegrown tomatoes are the best. Every year I plant a cherry tomato and have always had success in getting a bumper crop. Last year, for the first time, squirrels had been stealing lots of tomatoes as soon as they ripen. So while you can try to keep them out of your yard, it’s usually better to outsmart them. To protect your homegrown tomatoes against squirrels wrap individual plant of tomatoes in small pieces of bird netting. Squirrels seem to be most interested in stealing tomatoes just as The Big Boy tomato is a classic variety that has great flavor. This is a big, sandwich-type slicer with smooth, bright red fruit. Big Boy tomatoes are resistant to cracking.
Cherry tomato plants produce sweet, small gems that are easy to grow, and they ripen quickly. So flavorful, it's tough to resist eating them straight from the vine. They're wonderful as a healthy fresh snack or tossed into salads.

Wow !! Great agricultural related post.....and great job @ctrl-alt-nwo.
I always like agricultural related post...because i love it.
I planted seedlings of peppers, eggplants and tomatoes.
We already have no snow and soon there will be a plus temperature.
Mulch is a covering placed over the soil around your tomatoes. It's key step to take in effective tomato care.
It keeps moisture in. A layer spread over bare soil allows the area to soak up more water. The outer layer dries faster than the soil below it. That reduces the rate of evaporation from the soil, plus it lets the soil to retain moisture for your tomato plants.
It regulates soil temperature. In hot summer months, a layer helps keep the underlying soil cooler. In the fall when temperatures fall off, the layer around your tomato plants keep roots warm.
It smothers weeds. Fewer weeds sprout because seeds are buried beneath the surface. And the weeds that sprout are weak and easy to pull.
It prevents disease and fruit rot. A layer keeps water from splashing on the soil, absorbing bacteria and fungi, and bouncing up onto your plants. Likewise, when a tomato falls onto a layered area, it is less likely to rot quickly than if it falls onto soil.
It improves the soil. Organic varieties can be turned into the soil at the end of the season.
