1. We have some tomato plants

on the patio and the smell is wonderful. We had a Rosemary "tree" but I guess I killed it. That herb is quite aromatic. Pineapple Sage is nice as well and gets quite large and showy.

6. I can't resist brushing the leaves when I walk by a lemon verbena.

I have three of my own: one a small container plant in the patio scent/herb garden, and two in the ground that are trained up to tree-shaped shrubs.

But as the OP suggested, there's something about that tomato vine scent too..

3. Dill. We planted some in our boxes one year, and it went to seed.

Next year, it started growing between the planter boxes and we used to step on it as we were gardening.

4. all of those are great choices,

something about being out in the dirt and smelling the plants does something
to my endorphins......

5. I am going to wear a dust mask during this year's planting

Had a bit too much of my garden up the old nasal passages last year.

8. Lilacs in bloom. Gallica roses. Oregano. Fresh tarragon.

Babies. Lots of things.

Sorry, not a fan of tomato vine scent. But I do love the buggers.

11. Lilacs. Definitely lilacs.

Amongst the food groups, I'm more a sucker for onions -- of all stripes. I know, I'm twisted. ;-)

16. You know, it's funny...

...I take pines almost completely for granted. I'm in Michigan and they are EVERYWHERE. I thank you very much for your post to remind me how good I've had it without even knowing. You're right, they smell amazing after a good rain and I should be grateful for that. :-)

fresh ripe tomatoes, I HATE THE SMELL OF THE VINES!! I don't know why that is. Funnily enough, I love the smell of lemon verbena but not those bloody vines. My favourite fragrances are mignonette, night scented stock, angel's trumpets, rose geraniums and my double delight roses. oh and the smell of FRESHLY dug potatoes!! Mmmmm-mmm!!
