Sweet smelling garden

[MotherOfDragon]

I want my garden to smell delish. Last year I planted honeysuckle, mint, lavender and rosemary but am looking to add to this with something that is fast growing and preferably seeds quickly. Does anyone have any ideas?

They looked like little bundles of white string, not fluffy like willow, and it was a bush rather than a climber.
The smell was incredible.

Sorry for the crap picture... it was dark and on a main road with no pavement so I had to be quick!

Risking life an limb for a plant ID... there's dedication for you!

Trachylospermum has five-petalled flowers in the summer, yours look to be four-petalled from the picture and it's March!! Sarcococca has more prominent stamens.

Hmmm I think I'm going to have to risk the traffic and have another look this evening.

I've had a google and the flowers don't look like sarcocoa to me. The leaves are right though.

I'll be back!

Also I think its the wrong time of year for a trachleospurnum to be flowering. (Am prepared to be wrong here!)

My money is currently on Daphne I think...

Anyone on here ever successfully grown pumpkins before? I try and fail most years

Yes, several of us in the allotment thread do squashes for eating or pumpkins! I start mine off in the greenhouse in about April then plant out later on.

(I still think it's a Daphne )

yes - like shove , I grow them. They are very, very greedy - food and water. But once going, they are hard to stop - great ground cover!

And the winner is..... daphne! I'm almost certain!

You're probably all bored to death by my mystery plant now!

However I've finally worked out (with google's helo!) what it is:

Osmanthus burkwoodii

Which I'd never ever heard of before! So there we go

SOLD, added to the wish list. Yes, before you ask, this is the garden where I am NOT buying any more plants. I might renam it MN garden as most of my plants have been from recommendation from the gardening threads.

astrantia I went onto the shade thread last night - woke up this morning to find 5 plants in a shopping basket.

I too am not buying any more.
Not until next week.

Astrantia - I was looking at it , but its big -
It is so very tempting reading these threads :)

I have to be strong, I have to be strong, I have to be strong. I do not have the room for this.

Oooooh, osmanthus!! That makes so much sense. It does smell wonderful.
