When I left the shed last night, all was fine with the world. I get in this morning and the shed smells like stewed toxic waste. Somebody's plant decided that it would spontaneously mutate to produce a smell that is frankly indescribable though gut-wrenching horrible comes to mind.
All the windows are open and we're spraying this piddly little peach-scented air freshener. So now the shed smells of peaches and toxic waste.
Not really an improvement.
If it smells like butyric acid it might be a fruit-bearing ginkgo. They are said to stink beastly, that's why it's forbidden to plant the female trees in Austria (except for botanical gardens etc, of course).

I didn't really take the time to ask it for its name :) and my chemistry is too far away to remember the smell of butyric acid. but it stank bad :)
