This happens just as fruit begins to ripen. I don't have this problem on any other plans in my garden...

this is caused by too much moisture. If your fruit is in a wet spot and directly touching the ground is it vulnerable. Try providing better drainage. plant your next crop in a location where the sun will help you dry up rain and dew moisture. Elevate your fruit as much as possible from direct contact with the ground.

Black rot on tomatoes could be from a calcium defficiency. Since you have to almost constantly water tomatoes, a lot of the minerals in the soil get washed away. Try a good tomato fertilizer which should have calcium in it and follow the directions carefully.

That is cause by uneven watering. Be sure and mulch around them. Add lime (a cup full) twice a growing season.
