We just purchases a home and have a retaining wall with railroad ties. I want to plant a few trees and have a nice decorated flower bed. In the front can you plant seeds so they hang down. Would love to read ideas.

Look up miniature gardens or fairy gardens on the web so you can get ideas of plants that will stay "mini". Moss rose is a great idea. There are also the wave petunias or maybe something like a sweet potato vine.
A couple of great things to plant in the cracks might be sedums (the low grow growing/creeping varieties) and sempervivums (Hen and chicks). You wouldn't have to replant those every year if you get some hardy to your zone.
