The leaves look like chickpeas. I grew a handful of them a few years ago, but I don't remember what the flowers looked like.
What a phenomenal experiment Silverleaf. Maybe that is something I would like to do if I had more time up my sleeve. I already spend a few hours most days in my garden just to produce so I don't have to shop for any fruit or vegies. Been successful for about 5 years now.In fact I didn't know there were that many varieties of peas around.Maybe you need to get your moderator to update the system so photos don't get lost. I have all my garden history on Earthgarden and there doesn't seem to be any problem there once the post is done with photos.
Expatriette looks lovely. Have just found the photo of these flowers. They look very different both in shape and in colour from normal pea flowers:http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/dispimage.pl?187090There genotype narrative is here: Genotype: A Af/- Bt Cri/- Dw fa "FFs"/- i k le r Sil/- Tl/- wloDon't know what most of these mean
Over the pasty 9 months I have made 10 wicking beds, which are basically raised beds, from recycled roofing iron for the sides and ends and pallet timber (4X2) for the corners. They range in size from about 700-1200mm wide and 2-6 metres long.

Everything I can find locally is much more expensive than wood, even reclaimed stuff.
