Congrats on the ripe tomato :-)

Why not tell us how you are growing it and where you are located, so that we can help you to grow healthy plants in the future.

I'm in zone 7A. I'm just watering it at this point.

I've used Tomatotone in the past. I think I've used eggshells in the past, too.

Are you growing it in a container in potting mix? It looks as if you have good support for it.

Eggshells won't do much for a plant this year as they need some time to break down in the soil.

I assume the soil it came in is potting mix. It's just funny that at this point, I'm not really trying and heck if I'm not getting tomatoes that I will actually enjoy this summer.

Thanks for helping!

Agree with all Linda has said above. But I sure wouldn't leave that tomato on the vine any longer. It is well ripened as is and more water is only going to dilute the flavor. Plus leave it exposed to varmints, pests, and bad weather.

Lots of good info on this forum about how to grow tomatoes successfully now that you have this success.
