black ends on the bottom of tomatoes

Question

Are black ends normal on the bottom of the tomatoes? This morning my romas are black near the bottom of the tomatoes. Is that normal?

Answer 1

Blossom End Rot is typically a result of plants that are kept in calcium-deficient soil that doesn't drain well. This article may help you identify exactly what the issue is and how to correct it:
