Black spots is usually "Early Blight", google it and have a look at some pics and see if it looks the same. There is not much you can do, its best to pull out the affected plants and throw them in the garbage. You can also trim off all affected branches, try keep the plants dry and make sure they aren't planted to close so lots of air can get through.
