Hello! So a few months ago I found a beefsteak tomato sprouting on my counter. As an experiment I decided to cut it up and plant it in some soil. Fast forward to today and I am the proud plant parent of a fully grown tomato plant that I have growing in a 5 gallon bucket on my patio
I finally have had some tomatoes growing over the past few weeks which I never even imagined being the case. I noticed the other day though that one of them had what looks like a hole in it. Not sure if it’s just a deformity or a pest that caused it. Any advice/input on what to do would be greatly appreciated! 😊

Unfortunately, yes
I would just because it will help new ones form.
This looks more like very minor catfacing or a growth deformity (common in certain breeds) and not caused by a pest. They can cause fruit to look less attractive, and the splits can be tough in sections, but it’s certainly not a reason to discard a fruit. I love my wonky fruit!
