After a couple of no-show years for TSWV, I have pulled two plants this year... one was looking really good and had a few unripe fruit on it.
Fortunately I had replacements for both....
Two main differences from the prior two years...
1. Had extra onions in the garden over the winter.. (thrip vector?)
2. Not enough yellow marigolds around to attract away the thrips....
Bill, I hope we're both done seeing this for the season!
