I purchased this little fella at Lowe's, brought him home with his squash buddies and set them out on top of the grill until I could plant them. There came a storm that night and it blew them all off the grill. This one had all of it's leaves knocked off. I planted him anyway but he hasn't changed much, not a lot of new growth if any at all, while his buddies are doing pretty good. I just don't know what to do with him. Should I try and bury him deeper? I think he is still in shock from having his little limbs knocked off. And this was over a month ago...
Take a look...

Any takers on this one? Thanks for your help!

is it some kind of frog?
This is my first veggie garden ever. I have three rasied cedar beds and used potting soil and miracle grow garden soil mixed together. I have not seen any evidence of vermin yet except for the small spots on my squash plants that I posted about.
Where do nematoads come from and where do they hide?

Ok, that makes more sense. I thought toads ate bugs anyway!
I know why my plant looks like that, I don't think it is nematodes. The leaves got knocked off and they never grew back. I'm going to check closer for buds tommorrow and think about burying him a little deeper OR mound up some compost around him. I did that to all my plants today.
I'll keep everyone posted. And of course, I'm open to suggestions!

Isn't there also a type of bacteria that forms "knots" on the roots of plant, but in that case it's a good thing because it fixes nitrogen for the plant. Note: Just seems like I read that somewhereFrancis Barnswallow wrote:Check this link out for more info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root-knot_nematode
As you scroll down on the link, make sure to see the picture on the right showing what root knots look like. My pepper roots looked just like the one in the pic.
Sorry for spelling nematode incorrectly.
Edit: I'm not talking about Mycorrhizal fungi.
