Hi dixie,

I'm so sorry you're having trouble with your tomatoes. It looks like there was a "bite" taken out of the tomato before it started to rot.

I'm not sure if it's what you have but, I've had some tomatoes rot when a bird has taken a bite out of them and then they got wet from rain or the sprinkler.

You might also try this website: http://www.extension.iastate.edu/publications/pm1266.pdf they had great pictures and information about what tomato diseases look like.

Good luck,
Gloria
