While organizing my gardening tools and fertilizers, I found a packet of Chinese Celery (in Chinese, it's called Kheen Choy or in Malay, Daun Sup) seeds that I bought last April from a fertilizer shop in Tangkak town during our trip to Alokarama for the Green Thumb Workshop. I totally forgot that I have these seeds. I sowed the seeds on 9th April and simply hope they will germinate and grow. Through my readings from blogs and forum, some seeds that past its validity may not germinate. So, I didn't give these seeds high hope. However, surprise awaiting me!!! I just saw some Chinese Celery seedling in one of my pots!
For only RM2 per packet, there are many seeds inside the aluminium foil. And the seeds exude the fragrant similar to the one you get from celery.
It's exactly 1 month since I sowed the Chinese Celery seeds. Seedlings are sprouting out from the ground!! I am waiting for them to grow into bushy stalks.

Looks like this is a good brand to try. Some brands contains seeds that don't germinate at all.
where is it?
I think my eyes are playing tricks - are they the ones that look like ferns?
I thought they were ferns?
JC, the seeds look kind of cute :-D They look like those seeds for the birds. Anyway, it is going to be nice to have this vege handy. Good choice!
Btw, your straw plant tage is so cool!
James, those fan-shaped leaves are indeed Chinese celery. Aren't they pretty.
Steph, the tags are my alternative and cheap solution. I went to Ace Hardware to find plant tags but they don't have it. I was hoping to catch the ice-cream man and get the ice-cream sticks from him. But so far no luck of catching him yet. So, I opt to use the straw and old name cards to write the names. Easy to do and free of charge.
