I need to redo my raised beds, and I've been seeing some gardeners in one of my local Facebook groups building beds with cinder/concrete blocks. But these people aren't growing daylilies, and I'm wondering if blocks would be detrimental to my plants. I'm in Ohio, so we get snow and ice in the winter, but can have summer days in the 90 - 100 degree range.

Would those types of blocks getting too cold/hot be damaging to the daylilies? I feel like the blocks would make my beds more stable, but if there's any chance of hurting my daylilies, I can definitely stick with wood.
