Default TSWV and how to defeat it

For years i've been fighting the Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus, and my non-tolerant and non-resistant plants never made it past 1 Sept. (I'm in zone 7b). This year they are looking great and bearing well and with little or no attention from me since I have had a multiplicity of illness, fractures, etc. My Bolseno's (TSWV resistant are also doing well as are my Snow Berrys). Since I have a rather large stand of Wormwood (Artemesia absinthium) along one side of my garden, i put 4 red Brandywines in them. It is 15 Sept, and i'm picking all 3 types and my Brandywines are staning tall and with no signs of resistance. Looks like the wormwood worked.
