Coddy muck.

Night scented stock.
I grew it every year in the backyard garden I made in Church.
The smell overpowered the the smells that came over the yard wall from next door, where two dogs lived who never went for walkies

Ps I had a lilac tree too but that smell didn't last more than a few weeks. I used to sit under it when in bloom and just breathe in the gorgeous aroma.

[beechy]

cheese and onion boiling away in milk,dont know the correct culinary name
but it wur a regular treat back in the day

In those days it wasn't custom to use garlic, so I recall it smelt foul on his breath.
What a passion killer that was.
