Got a lot of tomatoes coming on now. The bottoms of tomatoes on one plant appear to be rotting. It is a straight black indentation across the bottom. Is it bugs or something else.

Blossom end rot. Look it up. Usually a deficiency of calcium. I grow mine in containers and add a handful of ground limestone every year and have not seen it since.

I'll have to see if there is something at the Co Op to stop it quick. I've got a bunch of tomatos about to ripen. Thanks

I'd water in a couple of handfuls of fine ground limestone around each plant. You'll probably lose parts of the affected tomatoes but subsequent ones should be OK. That's what happened to me when I had the problem years ago and learned about it.
