It seems that my tomatoes as well as another poster's tomatoes may have contracted tomato spotted wilt virus--thanks to bluekat76 for helping to crack the mystery! A friend of mine about two miles away also has the same condition, also primarily on his Brandywines (we both started our own from seed from Johnnies, and the seedlings were very healthy, no problems whatsoever.) My question is has anyone else on this forum ever had this issue and did it recur from year to year? I'm not quite sure what to do with my plants--I've had entire plants that were affected and those were pulled, but I also have plants that are only affected on one side and the other side is growing just fine. I'm not sure if I should allow these to continue growing or pull those as well. The plants that were most affected were the potato leaf varieties of Stupice and Brandywine. I'm wondering if I should skip them next year and maybe wait a year or two until the virus has a chance to work it's way out of the area (I hope.)
Any suggestions, thoughts, ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! :D
