Tomato Plants





When I had just started to see my tomato plants sprouting, a friend said to me, "Just you wait until they grow and fill your garden with their fragrance". I shrugged off the thought for what would tomato plants smell of but of tomatoes?










I've always been fond of vanilla-toned creamy scents like cappucines and sunflowers, so I was taken back as I realized how comforting it was to inhale the intense aroma that filled the evening air as I watered my garden after a busy day at the office.






I believe there is no universal description for it but, for me:

The scent of tomato plants
Feels sharp to the nostrils like fresh cut grass
Yet
Has a lukewarm drowsiness of a rare afternoon nap.

How do you perceive the smell of tomato plants?
