My Green Giant has the "junk"
This is what i saw today. The plant was in great shape two days ago. One of the pics looks like what Lee has posted (TSWV). The rest are different. I am going to yank it up unless someone stops me in the next few hours.
If pulling up the plant is the appropriate action, can I save the biggest fruit? Tim

Plant looks bad - unfortunately, it should go. Yes, you can save seeds from fruit....I saved seeds from an infected Orange heirloom in 2002, and saved seeds produced healthy plants in the following seasons.

Get rid of it. The thrips seem to be bad again this year.
Although, I will say that we are getting some pretty good pictures of what this disease looks like. Perhaps we could collect them for a more formal reference to be created at a later date. Lee |

Ok, It's gone.
Thank you both for responding so quickly. Fortunately, I have another Green Giant growing and at it's OK....At least for now. Tim
