butternut squash
I planted my butternut squash in may... so will they be ready to pick in August or September?

Well they usually say at least 110 days to maturity, but that's from when the seed was planted. If you planted a good sized plant in May, you can probably count back another month for when the seed was planted. But I would think any way you count it, it would not be August. It's why squash and pumpkins are fall crops. I think you are looking at Sept to early Oct.
