Default herb or weed?

Thanks for all the suggestions. I am starting to think it's not an
herb, since there still is no real aroma about it at all. It is
starting to develop something that looks like tiny flower buds, so
perhaps the mystery will be solved shortly... I'll post an update when
that happens.
Cheers

Close--it looks a little like lovage to me. Lovage is a
celery-flavored herb, so crushing the leaves should be a give-away.

Okay, so here's Guess #2 from me -- aside from cilantro and/or flat-leaf
(Italian) parsley, the *other* thing that comes to my mind
is............celery.

I didn't mention it before because I assumed the celery stalk would be hard
to miss, but I decided it may take a while for the stalk to form -- in the
meantime, the leaves come up.

Hmm..... Genting Garden website
http://www.gentinggarden.com.my/garden/content.html sells an "everbearing
Celery Leaf" among its many tasty-looking products! I thought at first that
it was selling seeds, but I realize it must sell produce to restaurants
somewhere 'cross the pond!

It sure looks like an herb, but it has no obvious herbie smell.
Anyone know what it is? Sure is a robust grower, in the herb garden-
of all places:
