When entering a garden, the changes of smell can be quite enjoyable. I am trying to get some plants going that smell good too. Lavender was planted last year and honestly alot of it died. About half of them planted I do not think made it. But a few did, I think I will buy some more maybe a little bigger next time and see how they do. The ones I got were real small and maybe a little too young to be placed in the ground. Hard to say for sure what killed them, but just glad many survived regardless.

This plant and others shown in this post have a nice smell to them. Hoping as the grow larger and the suns rays hits the plants it will give the area a nice smell. Right now these lavender plants are only a couple inches tall so it may be a few years before I get some large ones that smell nice like my Jasmine vine when it flowers.
Bee Balm is another plant recommended for its nice smell. And as the name suggests it has a nice scent that pollinators enjoy too. I just planted it last year so its pretty small right now.
When I planted the Bee Balm it was just a small plant with maybe a couple stems of growth. But now it has expanded across the ground and should be quite bigger this year I am thinking.
Rosemary is another new addition to my garden, I planted some Tuscan blue rosemary last year and they are quite small. But this year someone was throwing away some bigger plants. So I got them and put them in soil. Hoping they do well there.
No new growth yet, but I just planted them a month or so ago. Hoping over the summer it will form some new leaves. The smell of the plant is pretty amazing when I was handling it.
I plan on cooking with the Bee balm and Rosemary, maybe I can do the same with the Lavender but not sure. All and all I just hope it gives the area a nice smell to it and maybe keep the mosquitoes a little further away. Maybe I can use the leaves to make an insect repellent, but I will let them get bigger before harvesting them for spices or their oils.
Curious if there are other fragrant plants people would recommend? I remember eucalyptus trees smelling good, but I do not think I can grow those where I live.
