Several years ago, we planted eight butternut squash plants. They ALL grew! And produced profusely. I forget how many squashes we got from those plants, but Dear Richard said, "NEVER AGAIN!". This year, we planted four butternuts. At last count, we had over two dozen squashes. They're growing on the fence; Rick put them in slings yesterday. They're growing all over the garden; we put crushed gallon milk jugs beneath them, so the squashes don't sit on right on the ground. We do love butternut squash, in soups, to roast, to bake with, etc. But over two dozen? Rick says next year, we are planting one plant. But if something happens to that one plant, we won't have any. I suggested two plants and received "that look" in return.
Our daylilies are done around here, too. We still have some blooming Oriental lilies, but that's it.
