My Own Gulayan Klasrum

Our family has been growing different kinds of plants since I was a kid. I clearly remember how we used to harvest ampalaya and papaya in our own backyard and cook it for our lunch. I used to have my own plant which I took really good care of. I watched it grow from a sidling into a tree. I used to water it every day, and I even talked to it believing that it helps the tree grow and can hear what I was saying. Sadly, we had to cut our beloved trees when we renovated and expanded the house. So growing a plant in our backyard is not a new thing for me.

I choose to plant petchay because I have already planted and took care of this kind of plant when I was in grade 11 for our Science project. Also, petchay plants are easy to grow. Also, it has many vitamins and minerals. According to Healthy Eating, in a serving of pechay, you consume 32 milligrams of calcium, 21 milligrams of phosphorus, 95 milligrams of potassium and 287 international units of vitamin A. One serving also contains trace amount of iron, magnesium, zinc, vitamin C, thiamin, vitamin B-6 and folate.
