That fresh jar smell...

Food containers don't do it for me but a walk through a tomato patch or the smell of rain does.

Ditto. I walk through our garden marvelling at the growing things. I am constantly checking on the progress of the plums, pears and apples. I can stare at a branch of them in pure awe. Same thing with tomato plants...or corn stalks that I planted myself.

Probably not the same thing as taking joy in foodie things...but growing food just enthralls me!

I just picked my first ripe tomato in my own garden for the first time in...18 years. Living in CA you have to water everything all the time. Here its easy to grow stuff.

The smell I remember the most when I came to MA is riding my bike and smelling this grape smell. It was so familiar. I finally realized MA has Concord grapes growing everywhere. As a kid growing up in PA we had a Concord grape vine and I remember the smell of those squished overripe grapes. Yup, that's what I was smelling as I was running over squished grapes in the road!
