If the black spot appears at the end of the tomato (opposite stem), it is most likely blossom end rot. If you have a calcium tablet, or the water you used to boil eggs, or even egg shells, apply them. The blossom end rot is dfue to a lack of calcium. When you plant your tomatoes, add some crushed egg shells at the bottom of the hole, along with 2 tablespoons of epsom salts. Jay, Oneonta, NY

That is a calcium deficiency. There are powders you can put around your plants for that situation.
