The Obsessive Neurotic Gardener

  • About me
Posted on April 1, 2011 by jmarkowski Posted in Uncategorized .
I’m testing out new code I just wrote that may just take gardening blogs into the next stratosphere. If you wouldn’t mind, try and scratch each of the photos below and let me know if you get the sweet scent I get each summer from these beauties. I’m hoping this scratch and sniff thing will be my golden ticket. I’ve already been contacted by Apple and they want to add this functionality to the iPad 3. 
Thank you in advance

    I am ready for all of these flowers that supposedly smell, some do and then again some don’t, even the roses don’t smell anymore.

    Cool! They all smell the same except for the fourth one. That one smells rotten. My garden smells of coffee.

    Btw, my screen is blurred due to the scratches. Have you invented anything to get rid of the scratches?

    Who needs a scent when you have stunning photos. Just use your imagination…

    hmmm, that photo in the middle must smell the best as people have scratched so much the petals are starting to disintegrate!

    I added these to my garden last fall and am really looking forward to them this summer. I’m also growing Four O’Clocks for scent. I wonder how prompt they’ll be? :o)

    :o) Hihi!
    I’ve got no luck with Echinacea, the slugs are most of the time faster than I with slugs corn. However, I can enjoy them on your photos :o)… not the slugs *LOL*.
    Have a great day!

    Just got your new app! Love it! I use it with the new Bud Light app. Garden Party!!
    Do you see signs of life in this echinacea? They have the a bad rep round here for acting like annuals!
