In English, the word “salad” first appeared in the 14th century. Vegetables were seasoned

Britons to eat fresh salad greens. Mary, Queen of Scots, ate boiled celery root over greens covered
Oil used on salads can be found in the mid-17th-century colony of New Netherland (later
called New York, New Jersey and Delaware). In a 1665 letter to the Director of New Netherland from
the Island of Curaçao: "I request most amicably that your honor be pleased to send me seed of

Salads may be sold in supermarkets, at restaurants and at fast food chains. Salad

Passage
Today, people in urban areas yearn for natural green space. In a condominium that has
limited space, having a beautifully decorated balcony is what people look for to help them relax
Here are some suggestions. Start by checking the position of the drains and check if your
balcony is lower than the room area. Why? Because if you know where the drain is, you know
where you should place your plants. Normally, plants should be placed opposite a drain to prevent
them from obstructing the waterway and to protect your room from being flooded.
Your choice of plant is important. Balconies are limited by being long and narrow and
unable to support anything too heavy. The balcony is also a place where natural light gets into the
room. If you grow too many plants there, they can block the light, making your room dark. You
should create a garden that fits the size of your balcony, and not use plants that are too high or
broad. Don’t put too many decorations in the garden either. Keep it simple and plain, because
