Default Toms with Black Bottoms

My tomatoes are coming on fine.. Except that the base/bottom of them are
black.

What kind of infestation is that? What has caused it?


Bloosom end rot. Caused by inconsistant watering.

You could try cutting the black out, but I've always found it goes right to
the centre so the whole fruit is ruined, and end up throwing them.

If you start watering regularly you may find any new fruit survive.
