living by the sea here in the summer (december) all the coral starts to spunk when the water gets a certain temperature...the whole town smells like ...well..like....well use your imagination !!

Well...

-I've seen her garden, and although I've not actually sniffed it, by her own admission, it's rather overgrown.

This thread always makes me happy.

'tis the true mark of summer.

YAY! I did wonder about resurrecting this thread but I am happier that someone else did TY Swarfega.

Yes again like clockwork my tree spunkedThe smell has pretty much gone now.

 

[kalidarkone]

Tell you what- next year I will organise an spunky garden urban meet in Bristol- you can all come round for a sniff and a cuppa!

 

[Tank Girl]

Anyone enjoying a spunky garden yet?

I know it is a week or two early, but I hear the weather has been nice recently?

Ah, this thread again! Welcome back, dear friend (((((((((thread)))))))))

Neither my chestnut or rowan have started to smell spunky. Got loads of flowers on the rowan too. Think the birds enjoyed the berries last autumn, one day it looked all red and lovely, next day it was bare!!

Try Sorbus hupehensis. The birds leave the berries unless it's a really hard winter. They are a beautiful colour too.

I did enjoy my usual annual spunky garden thanks-although very briefly-Ive been sooo damn busy! Hence me missing this thread

 

[Maggot]

I got a brief whiff of spunk whilst out cycling this morning. Could that be the rowan or something else?

 

[gentlegreen]

There's a laurel bush I pass that smells a bit spunky.

 

[zenie]

Disgusting, the smell of whatever it is makes me heave

 

[gentlegreen]

Pyracantha is my bugbear - lovely berries, but in flower it makes me gag.

 

[The Groke]

Summer is here again.

 

[kalidarkone]

Not smellin it yet

 

[Strumpet]

kali, every year your spunk tales make me chuckle

 

[gentlegreen]

It's my only email notified thread now.

 

[kalidarkone]

I think my rowan tree might be dead as I can not smell the spunk and it is being strangled by lots of ivy!

Do you live near any dogging sites?

 

[The Groke]

I can not smell the spunk

The Urban menz could have a whip-round for you?

Darn.

This was the year I was going to insist on an invite .

I will have to find my own dank dell in which to dally...

 

[rowan]

The smell is the main reason I decided against planting a Rowan.

The smell only lasts a short time, the beautiful berries last for months

I used to get complaints from neighbours about my rowan tree, demanding I chop it down cos of the smell, bloody cheek!
