Research done by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture has shown that using red plastic mulch on your tomato plants will increase your yields by 12%. You can buy it in 3'x3' squares that fit nicely around a tomato plant or you can purchase 4'x50' rolls. .

I want to plant tomato plants but the squirrels eat just about everything in the garden. Do squirrels eat tomatoes?

In my area we have only red squirrels they don't eat my tomatoes. I don't know about grey squirrels though. Tomato plants are from the nightshade family and are poisonous[apart from the fruit of course]. We have lots of deer around us but they never touch the tomato plants. I'd give them a go if I were you.

Can you move tomato plants after you have planted them. I am moving and I have 13 yellow and red tomato plants that are doing great and I was wondering if I can take them with me to my new home?

It depends upon how large they are. If they are already full grown then you will not want to move them. It will give them such a shock that they will quit producing fruits. If they are younger plants you can certainly dig them up, put in a container, water well, and replant at the new house.
