Dona Tomato

I keep reading about how luscious the Donas are, but I haven't had much luck 
with mine. I got them from Shepherd's Garden Seed, because Renee Shepherd 
raved over them in a couple of articles prior to the (1990) publication of 
her catalog. May have been a bad year for them, but others did better and 
tasted wonderful.
I, too, enjoy an acidic tomato taste, and steer clear from the yellows or 
'pinks' because they're reported to be lower acid. May be a mental thing.
I've tried Donas from a later year reorder and they did about the same. Mine 
get thick skinned and extremely juicy with very little meat pulp. (Juicy = 
watery).
Oh, I usually order a couple of packets of something or other from 
Shepherd's because (now this is silly!) I love the cover of her catalog!!! 
 I have a collection of them framed in my kitchen, and they're well worth 
the few dollars I spend on seed to stay current in her mailing list.
