What is your favourite scent in the garden?

[DeepNorthFarmGardening]

I've got my back door open and as I do every year I've planted a lot of stocks in pots right outside.

I actually make a happy noise every time a whiff blows in.

Close joint second are the smells of the basil and mint

Honeysuckle. I went down the bottom of my garden yesterday evening and the smell was amazing. It is sheltered down there, and the scent seems to collect in that part of the garden. Lovely.

Daphne. I love it. Mine is winter flowering (are all of them?) and I make myself go in the garden to smell it as I would miss it otherwise.

sweet peas - I have some growing but no flowers yet
freesias - love them
fresh cut grass
basil

cannot have lavender or honeysuckle near me ,

My favourites from my garden are lilacs and honeysuckle.

Jasmine

I like the honeysuckle and the lavender.

Also like mint, basil and rosemary.

Honeysuckle, lilac, jasmine, lavender, rosemary.

Lilacs, mock orange, roses and any of my herbs. This has made me realise all my favourite plants are scented

Lilacs and roses

Second stocks. I have several varieties and they are so delightful

Pittosporum, honeysuckle, musk roses, lilac, star jasmine

Jasmine and roses

Honeysuckle. It reminds me of being a kid, running around in the garden in and out of the paddling pool and trying to stay up as late as possible in the summer evenings

Apple blossom

Jonquils and lily of the valley.

You can't possibly expect us to choose just one!
At the moment, the clematis Montana is gorgeous - soft vanilla.

In winter, sweet box.
Summer - sweet peas and honeysuckle . stargazer lilies - I have a couple of pots which I move beside the front door when they're blooming.

Lily of the valley for me but I can't have it as I have cats Close contenders are star jasmine and old roses.

Lavender, fruit tree blossom, roses, lemon balm, lilac, also freshly cut grass!

Night scented stock, lavender, honeysuckle, flowering blackcurrant, the smell of wet tomato plants, pine, box and roses.

Ooh, and sweet peas.

Midura I was going to dig up some Lily of the Valley from my Mum's garden to plant in mine but I forgot !
Just as well , I have 2 cats and didn't think about the toxicity .

I don't have lilies now - used to have Stargazer - because of the felines .

I have a Edelweiss lavender in a pot. It smells divine when you stroke the leaves.

Next door have a summer jasmine that I can smell from my bedroom; I am very envious of it. My star jasmine does not do well!

On a whim last year I bought a nemesia that smells like vanilla.

I bought two more this year, very much premeditated!

I can’t wait for the sweet peas to flower, and to remember to buy compost so I can sow the night scented stock seeds i purchased recently!

Honeysuckle
Sweet peas
Jasmine

Daphne is gorgeous, nicotiana, night scented stocks, lavender, jasmine and a nemesia which smells of vanilla and honey. Used to have it by the front door and it smelled like we'd been baking every day.
