Smells lovely, but not quite so nice as field beans. When it's flowering, that is. When it's ripening it's quite another matter. The smell is obviously in the nose of the beholder. I reckon oilseed rape smells horrible - and it is hell to walk through when a path crosses a field of the stuff. I particularly don't like the little pollen beetles it attracts that then invade our gardens when it finishes flowering. The flowers are a pretty luminous shade of lemon yellow and tend to grow everywhere that seed is moved past including motorway verges. A field full in full sun hurts the eyes.
