Found my first case of TSWV since June this morning when watering. I hope it will be an isolated case. It was just starting and I cut off the whole stem in the vain hope of slowing it down on the plant. I always try it but it rarely helps. It was one of my fall plants set out in July and it was looking pretty good with a fair amount of blossoms. Seems to me I mainly get TSWV in the spring and sometimes again in the fall. I guess that must be when thrips are active down here.
