Good Morning Carol,
Thank you for contacting the U of M Extension Service.
Please click on the following link from the U of M Extension Yard and Garden website about tomato diseases: https://extension.umn.edu/plant-diseases/tomato-disorders#how-to-control-blossom-end-rot-3103312
With the hot, hot weather and lack of rain last year, it was difficult to grow tomatos. In a container, it is even more difficult to keep the watering consistent.

Good Luck!
