Counting butternuts

I know, I know we are not supposed to count chickens before they hatch, but no old wife said anything about counting butternuts, did they? :)

So let's go counting...

Here is my main butternut patch below the fig tree near our pool. This is the same spot that grew beautiful egg plants and broccoli and cauliflowers in the last two seasons.

 This is the butternut patch at the pool...

These last two  are growing in a barrel at the pool too.

Five or six butternuts are in the pot.

I don't understand why there are gluts and lean harvests...we are just thankful for what comes when it comes. 

How is your summer garden coming along?
