it sounds to me like blossom end rot, its what happens when the little flower stays attached to the tomato when it forms, an easy way to avoid this is to simply wipe the flowers off the tomatoes as they form if you only have a small garden, there are treatments both chemical as well as organic for this common problem, look up blossom end rot and you'll find allot of solutions ----blanco

make sure that the tomatoes are not in a wet spot with constant moisture. That will invite mold, rot, bugs etc.
also make sure the tomatos are not resting on the ground.
Also remember you can pick the tomato while green and let it ripen off the vine if they keep getting black on the bottom.

Get "ferti-lome, Yield Booster (stop blossom end rot)" and follow the directions on the bottle. ( Also add Gypsum to the soil after heavy rains.....go ahead and add some now anyway.) This will work! It's a calcium deficiency. Using this fertilome product will not only stop end rot but, tomato plants produce larger, firmer fruit for bigger, more productive yields.

yea there bored you need to wave your hand up in the air wave it all around like you just dont care then punch yourself in the nose and let the blood drip all over the tomato it will turn red , and if it doesnt lay on the ground and put the tomato on your face and ask some one you know "im sure any one you know will gladly help" to jump on the tomato and tell it to ketsup..

That sounds like a common disease called Blossom end rot. You need to give them more consistent water and not let them continuously alternate between wet and dry. Remove the afflicted ones.
