In the last post I mentioned that scallions growing on the window sill need to be rinsed regularly when grown hydroponically (from cutting off the bottoms of those we buy at the supermarket!) or they can get stinky feet. That reminds me of the luscious aromas some of our other plants offer up, especially those grown in the AeroGardens. Talking with a fellow gardener, I learned to my surprise that some people don't like the smell of young tomato leaves.

I joked that I would grow tomatoes just for that smell because when I brush against them they release an aroma that really makes me all warm and fuzzy. Papalo, a heat-tolerant herb we grow to use in place of cilantro is another of my favorite smells, which to my horror another writer described as smelling like laundry soap. Mmmmm, I'd like to try some of his laundry soap!
I take paid surveys online from time to time and my favorites are the ones about laundry soap. Once a brand we didn't use much in the past sent a free sample and paid us a few dollars to try it out and then answer some questions. Wow! That brand was indeed new and improved and did a great job of getting the laundry clean. But in those laundry soap surveys they usually have one question that confuses me. They want to know how much scent we like in the soap, but they are talking about how much scent stays in the clothes after they are washed. I like some scent in the detergent, but it should disappear afterwards, and I don't like for it to remain on the clothes afterwards. Duhhh. Same thing with body wash!
Same thing with perfume. I don't really use perfume that much. I like some for a little while and then it gets tiresome, even the nice scents. Then I think if it is tiresome for me, how other people might feel about having to be near me.
I like the scent of Thieves Oil, for example, rich with cinnamon and cloves but please leave out the eucalyptus. Thieves Oil and lavendar are two scents I could probably be around forever.
