leaves and tomatoes

This morning I planted some of my tokyo bekana into an empty deck pot
the rest really need to go in ground; I'll plant them tonight (tomorrow rains)
I'm now only finding one striped beetle per day on the amaranth, some days none. The leaves have holes here and there instead of being skeletonized, so I think progress.
The best tomatoes so far this year were the cherokee purples. All the ones I think of as my 'big tomato' varieties, didn't get big at all, and only made one or two fruits per plant. Still bringing them indoors to ripen. Fault of the hornrworms, or suboptimal soil? Next time I do a new bed will plant beans the first year.
Some of my sunberries look like this, and get tossed. Is a critter eating the bottoms off the fruits? or some kind of disease making them decay, I don't know.
