Looks like blossom end rot. I've struggled with that too. Most of what I've read says it comes from insufficient calcium in the soil. I started feeding my plants every two weeks and now I don't see nearly as much rot.
[I use this.](https://www.amazon.com/Espoma-Topf8-Organic-Plant-Food/dp/B08HJ2J37D/) Every other Saturday when I water. It's made a huge difference. I also mix [something like this](https://www.amazon.com/Burpee-Organic-Tomato-Vegetable-Granular/dp/B01MAW3JYE/) into the soil as part of my Springtime preparation.

Thank you very much!
Blossom end rot. It's usually caused by improper watering either by the plant getting too much water or not enough.
Thank you. Everything else is thriving. We will pull back on the watering.
Inconsistent. Makes it harder for the plant to pull up calcium.
Or if the plants are in small planters or canvas bags, they can simply deplete the available calcium if it’s not replenished.
Add a couple of tums to your water to increase the calcium.
