Thanks for all the help and suggestions. For better or for worse as I took all 24 tomatoes out and as I said I filled back in to the grade that surrounds the bed. It is close to what it would have been if I just removed the sod and put the bed on top. I tamped as I filled in so it would be as solid as I could make it with 20lb hand tamper and a 15lb patio block dropped from over my head. Some of the fill was a little rocky but I did get a couple some good sticky clay layers in there to fill in the all the voids and make it as impermeable as the surrounding ground. It was contoured with about a 2 inch drop both along the width and length dumping to the lowest corner of the bed which is above ground so it can drain out. I also put in a drain from highest to the lowest point hoping that would catch any excess and dump it out. Looking at my soil mix either it had way too much organic material in it or it was just that way because it was soaked, I remixed it with some top soil, agricultural sand, peat and vermiculite and through in a some gypsum in between some of the layers as I filled it back in. I put in some super phosphate to hopefully get some roots going quickly also. The bed was raised another 4.5" inches also to meet the bed on its right. The tomatoes are now back in their final resting place, I guess that sounds bad. Hopefully with the grade coming back up to meet the rest, the slope, the drain, the remixed soil, and the additionaly height the bed will drain properly and the tomatoes will come back to life. Some of them took it worse than others but I hope they make it, if not I guess I can sucker off the other 12 I have in containers and use those.

I know this is an old post & you've probably already found out by now, but I thought I might reply in case anyone else had the same questions... The white wormy things you're finding just under the soil are grubs. I'm pretty sure they turn into japanese beetle type beeltes that will eventually eat the leaves & basically become pets. They fly around in June & get stuck in your hair, blick. You can by milky spore stuff to innoculate your soil to get rid of them. The flying green things have me stumped :) Good luck and I also don't tolerate creepy crawlies well, so I feel your pain :) Antoinette Here is a link that might be useful: all about grubs

I know some frogs can freeze solid and emerge intact. I dont know about your tree frogs tho. If you have a lidded aquarium wherre they can have access to food water and a lace to burrow in, they should be fine. I would be concerned with them getting too warm tho

Check this out. I'm not sure it's what you are looking for but you might search through their other products if it isn't. I've ordered from their catalog previously without any problems. Good luck - I know how frustrating these kind of searches can be! Here is a link that might be useful: Dr Leonards
