Telephone gardening.

Tall Telephone peas.  First time I've tried growing them.  I wonder if the white blossoms means it will sprout ivory colored phones?

Is that what they are called? Never heard of them before.

Yes, that's what they're called.  I think another name for them is "Alderman".

Ah so this must be where all those little salesman sample sets come from...they are just under-ripe phones!

Pick them early enough, they make cute fey fobs!
