Smells are one of the joys of summer. One smell I particularly like is the smell of pineapple weed when I mow the lawn. Also known as wild chamomile, pineapple weed is edible in salads and in tea. Rubbing a bruised plant on your skin temporarily repels insects. Quite a bit of pineapple weed grows next to my driveway so that part is particularly pleasant to mow.
