What is that lovely scent?

Ok, its official, I've gotten the reputation at the office as the "garden guy." A recent transplant* to our are was asking about growing tomatos. Something she had done in her home further south. She was complaining about the work required with weeding, and after finding out she leaves* them spaced thinly and in bare soil, offered some advice to at least cut down on the ability of the weeds to compete. She also mentioned her love of "that tomato smell" going so far as to rub a stem or two between her fingers so she has it with her when she leaves the garden.

THATS my kind of perfume!



*Dear God I can't stop with the puns today! Make me stop! someone! anyone! make it stop!
