Yes, it's happened to me in the past, and it's a real nuisance. It can affect peppas too.

I haven't had a problem with it recently, but I suppose I'd try this:

Use of fertilizer low in nitrogen, but high in superphosphate, such as 4-12-4 or 5-20-5, will do much to alleviate the problem of blossom end rot.

Just don't use a Miracle Gro type fertilizer; it's extremely high in nitrogen.
