You will notice on the side that I used cinder blocks to plant in. You don't need anything on the bottom... just pack the dirt in and it works great and looks good on a patio. Now... I planted sun flower seeds in every other cinder block. They have started to grow... but I will be excited when they get tall and flower!

I love your patio. It looks so great. You've got the best patio in the neighborhood I bet. What a nice little Oasis you have!
Now you just need someone to take a picture of you and Brent sitting in the swing...and the picture will be complete.
Nice work! I can't gow anything.
Wait until we finish the water fountain... that will make the garden complete. Brent and I in the swing would be nice too.
Your patio looks great. The flowers are gorgeous. I love the cinterblocks as pots, how cool is that!!
Your patio looks fab! I love gardening, too. Here's to wishing I had more of a back patio. Jealous.
Beautiful!! The cinder block idea is so clever!! But what if you wanted to move them? Lol.. I still think I want to have some cinder block planters on my balcony though. :)
Where do you live? It looks like a house! And I am kind of jealous that you have a patio (when I say kind of, I mean really). My balcony is LAME!
What are those flowers? They're so beautiful, especially those on the big pot. Blocks as alternative to pots isn't such a bad idea, it's clever. Perhaps you can paint 'em so they will look lovelier for spring and summer.
