Was just out watering my garden and I noticed that at least 3 of my Tomato plants have a dark discoloration on the stem just above ground level. Kinda reminds me of the color I had on the fruit last year when I got blossom end rot at the end of season.

Because it has been so dry here lately I have been watering every day. I check every morning and the ground is dry, so I assume I am not over watering.

Should I be worried about this and if so what can I do?

New to sfg but I see your in Canada so I wonder if this might be it? My
tomatoes were a dark purple when it was cool out during our very late
spring/summer this year. Did you have a cold spell last night?

If you did, they will green back up when the temps are warmer.

Thanks for that link and for the comments as well. It looks like it might be Root Rot.

But tonight as I was inspecting my garden, I noticed something else: I have 3 out of my 6 plants that have some fruit on them (been a really slow year with the late summer and now a drought), and on one of them I found a tomato with blossom end rot.

Funny thing is it is my one Big Boy. Last year I planted all Big Beef in that area and they all got BER at the eand of season. I wonder if the plants have the same vulnerability and if the fungus stays in the soil from year to year.

I noticed on that site it said to only plant tomatoes in the same spot every 3 years.
