I find that carrots, green onions, winter savory, mint, chives, smaller to medium leaf lettuces, and leek do quite well in the holes. I think making them 2 high makes all the difference.

Now I'm thinking I need a neighbor to abandon an umbrella...<br /><br />Also - I like the bromeliad/marigold/etc. planting in the cinderblocks. I have block beds and have also found they don't support vegetables well in the holes. I may have to get more creative with some other plants.David The Goodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10198938190820294516noreply@blogger.com
