    Yes, true. I filled up my cinder blocks with Geraniums now. Maybe next year, will try petunias.

    I was checking out the cinder blocks we have around here... most of them have very small openings. :'(
    I still may be able to find a couple to plant something in.

    Small snapdragons could be planted in the cinder blocks.
