Week of 15 JuneA Sub Arctic Plenty tomato on 18 June, its stout stem so thickly bristled that the hairs catch light along its whole length, the leaflets blistered and puckered above and paler and hairy beneath, several drooping, under dim flat light in a plank-walled shed.Week of 29 JuneA Sub Arctic Plenty tomato on 29 June, one fruit still whitish-green and furred over the shoulder while another beside it has gone glossy and taken a broad pale band from the sun, with a last yellow flower open at the edge of the frame.Week of 6 JulyA Sub Arctic Plenty tomato on 7 July, unusually pale for unripe — creamy yellow-green and waxy almost to white — the largest riding high on the stem with a dry brown corky blotch low on one side, under flat light and a white overcast sky.Week of 20 JulySub Arctic Plenty tomatoes on 20 July, the cluster pale yellow-green rather than green and the palest nearly cream, white hairs still standing on the fruit and fringing its outline in hard midday sun, one sepal bent down across the shoulder.
