    It could also be blossom end rot, common when grow bags are used, and is caused when the compost dries out when the fruit are swelling

      Yes, I think Johnrhos is right and it is blossom end rot. It is usually caused by irregular watering of the plants, be it in grow bags, pots or borders.:cry3:
