Week of 29 JuneA New Yorker tomato on 29 June leaning off its own stem, one long side branch flopped down and away across the bench, the leaves above it mid-green and those below paled to lime with papery brown tips, in dim indoor light.Week of 6 JulyA New Yorker tomato on 9 July under a dusting of kaolin, its hairs standing out white along every leaf edge in the light — one small green fruit deep in the shade of the canopy and behind it a much larger one, creamy pale and only just beginning to turn.Week of 20 JulyA New Yorker tomato on 20 July, green and glossy with one paler yellow-green cheek where the low side light falls, hung on a hairy stalk with a swollen knuckle at the joint and six narrow sepals curled back across its shoulder.
