Adjusting the tomato plants that are bending and at risk of breaking
When I arrived, I immediately noticed a few things I could improve, but the main thing was to try and fix what I was most worried about: the plant was clearly bending, which could seriously damage it. So, I quickly thought of a solution with what I had on hand, since my initial idea wouldn't work due to time constraints.
The first thing I did was clear some of the weeds around the tomato plant and find a piece of wood to place nearby so I could tie it up with string.
Right there, I measured the string to see if it would reach or if I needed to find a bit more, but luckily it did reach enough to secure it to a nail on the house's column. I had to be careful not to overtighten it, but tight enough so it wouldn't come loose and would be nice and taut, as you can see in the photos.
You can still see that the plant is a little arched, but I don't think it will bend much more. I'll give it a reasonable amount of time to see how it develops and to know if it might need any further adjustments.
The good thing, and a detail I hadn't noticed until a few hours ago, is the presence of the nails in the wall that will allow me to tie them up because I'm hoping that all those flowers you see here in the photograph could become future tomatoes, God willing. But I still have work to do with the plants. Also, a detail I noticed in the photo where you can see the only tomato so far is that it seems to have a black spot, so I don't know if it's a pest or disease or simply something that wouldn't affect the plants or the crops that are about to appear.
