I saw this on another forum and thought it would be fun :)

I hate anything with burrs! They get caught up in your clothes and take forever to get out.

Grass! Well i don't hate it, think it's lovely actually but it makes me sneeze like crazy and I hate the smell of it freshly cut :o

Nettles...we aren't friends....

hahaha Obsidian I'm the opposite of you! I love the smell of freshly mown grass but I hate the fact that's illegal not to have a lawn in your front yard where you live... such a waste of space that uses up so much water and resources to keep it green and clipped, and when you don't do it it looks horrible... I'd rather dig the whole thing up and plant some vegetables!

And I imagine you might not be a fan of this: Stinging Nettles Soup (http://localfoods.about.com/od/spring/r/NettleSoup.htm)

Kirsten m'dear, stinging nettles stop stinging once they're cooked, so the soup is not on my hit list! :GreenThumbs:

Yeah I think its rather odd for a gardener to hate the smell of freshly cut grass, but what can you do :(

i had to think about this.. and i finally found a plant/flower that i dont have much time for and that's French marigold, its not a bad looking flower its just the smell i dont like, it reminds me of puke, if i smell it i actually feel like puking up, thats why i dont grow it :)
