Okay I have a few updates... On a good note: I have a few Black Cherry tom's that are getting some color. This is my first black type tomato, how do I know when they are ripe?

Well I guess the cucumber beetles did my cucs in. I thought that we took care of them...

Well I did get concerned about the leaves on my Brandywine. So I did quite a big trimming. In turn, it did expose my one big tomato. I am worried that it may get sunscald. Should I cut it?

Here are some pictures of the leaves...
