The OP yellow crookneck is a warted squash so that is natural. Squash don't like being transplanted and many times the seller allows them to sit in thier little containers too long and they get stunted which compounds the problem. It is a big bushy plant that needs roo. I do 2 plant to a hill, with hills three feet apart. I don't have any experience with containers, but that would roughly translate to 2-3 plants in an earthbox size container or maybe one plant per 5 gallon pot.
