« on: May 14, 2014, 06:40 »
i was wondering if anyone knows where i can find a sweetpea called 'Hazel Tasker' one of our dogs sadly passed recently and i always grow a sweetpea in their memory.this one is proving very difficult to locate.
any suggestions would be gratefully received :)

I think I once had some seed from this chap, years ago - might be worth a try?

I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

hi chrissie,
i havent had any (as yet) when sadly my dog passed,i rang the rhs and they said there was a type called 'hazel tasker' but they couldnt tell me where to purchase it.i searched online and sure enough i have found it on a couple of lists.but not on a sale site that i can buy from.

Why not contact the two sites and ask them for some seeds, giving your special reason for doing so? They can only say no.
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

that might work , ive looked myself didn't realise how many types there were , would be great just to have them in your garden the smell would be wonderful , next door to me has a load of smelly dogs and puppies might cancel out their smell ha ha  :D
