Answer 1

Blossom end rot ...........................Google, very common.........

Answer 2

We call this blossom end rot in Britain. According to my book this is caused by irregular watering - the compost or soil you are growing it in has probably dried out at some stage. This is mainly found in greenhouse grown plants. Remove the bad tomatoes and if you keep the soil moist from now on hopefully the rest should be all right.

Answer 3

It is Blossom end rot. It comes from the weather is changing too quickly like wet and rainy changes to hot and humid.   It is nothing you are doing but some varieties are more susceptible than others.

Answer 4

That sounds like BLOOM ROT.  You need to check with your local hardware or Lowe's store and get a spray for bloom rot and spray your plants.
