Well I guess there won't be any Sudduth's for me this season. TSWV got the other one. They were side by side so the thrips probably got them at the same time but I guess this plant was stronger or more resistant. May leave it for a few more days and see how it fares but it doesn't look promising. One side has totally stopped growing and the other stem is now showing all the classic signs so it won't be long now.
I guess I could try starting some seeds of Brandywine Sudduth's for late summer or fall but it has never been one of the tomatoes that sets well in the extreme heat of summer. I try to get it in the ground as early as possible each year so if the first batch doesn't make I'm usually out of luck.
