Remarkable Kentucky Mules and a Giant Volunteer Tomato
A 44 year old gray mule named Kate owned by Asbury B. Mayhew near Scottsville is celebrated for longevity while a volunteer tomato plant in Herbert Boland’s greenhouse region has stretched over 90 square feet producing 100 ripe tomatoes and hundreds more in progress. Kate drinks five ears per feeding and thrives on leaves, with Mayhew noting she may be the oldest mule in Kentucky. The tomato plant spread began in a begonia pot last November and now requires five gallons of water daily, yielding about six ripe fruits daily and attracting local attention.
