Gravel looks too much like soil

So if you're like me you probably don't like having gravel in your crop plots (if it can be avoided).

The problem is that it's very hard to tell gravel from soil, at least when they are close together. I usually have to go through my entire crop field, one square at a time to check I didn't accidentally include a square of gravel.

So I have two suggestions:

1) make gravel squares look less like soil squares. Pretty simple.

2) make the "ground info" available while creating crop zones. Currently you have to make the zone, then find the gravel spots, then back to the zone tool, make corrections, back to normal view to check you got the right ones, back to the zone tool etc. It's very tedious.

A display counting the amount of soil, gravel and rich soil squares, when you plot a growing zone, would be lovely!

Also, an option on the growing zone to expand only to one type of terrain.
This would kill this problem.
