November
SPOILER!!: Entries
SPOILER!!: Basil
Plant Details: Basil, Large leaves that are shiny and white flowers
Common uses: For cooking and some used for medicinal purposes
Personal use with reflection: What would pesto be without a little basil? Basil adds, if not that much, but at least a little taste to the pesto. And it makes pesto delicious. Yumyum.


SPOILER!!: Chamomile
Plant Details: Chamomile (or camomile), tiny Daisy-like flowers
Common uses: Used for medicinal purposes
Personal use with reflection: If you can't sleep at night, try drinking some beverages with chamomile. It tastes best if mixed with a little honey. Yum. Or if you'd like to try it with some lemon as well, it'd taste good. Without chamomile, some people would suffer too much insomnia... and without chamomile, where's the burst of flavors mixed with honey or lemon?


December
SPOILER!!: Entries
SPOILER!!: Rosemary
Plant Details: Rosemary, woody with needle-like leaves that are evergreen in colors
Common uses: It is an ornamental plant which means people use it (specifically its flowers) to decorate their homes. The oil is also used for fragrances like perfume and colognes. They can also be used for medicinal and culinary uses.
Personal use with reflection: As usual, it would be because of food. I mean, it adds flavor to the dish and everything. Have any of you even tried rosemary chicken or rosemary roast potatoes? If you haven't, then you're missing out a great part of life.


SPOILER!!: Mint
Plant Details: Mint or known as Mentha, erect square branched stems and have a variety color of leaves and flowers
Common uses: Used for culinary, medicinal, cosmetic uses and oil used for making insecticides
Personal use with reflection: I've tried these mints with dishes before. Some Muggle restaurants, I've asked the waiters, used mint in cooking their dishes. If you eat those leaves, they tasted sweet but have a cooling aftertaste which makes you feel quite refreshed. The tea my mother used to make have mint as well. And, really, they taste quite good.


January

SPOILER!!: Aloe Vera
Plant Details: Aloe Vera is stemless. Its leaves are thick and flesh-like that are colored green or greenish grey.
Common uses: Aloe Vera is used for medicinal purposes and dietary supplements.
Personal use with reflection: My mum used Aloe Vera on my wound when I was younger. But it cannot protect a wound for so long. It can be a temporary replacement for wound medicine or something. My mum and sister also use these moisturizers with Aloe Vera to protect their skin.


SPOILER!!: Bay Laurel or Bay Leaf
Plant Details: Bay Leafl comes from a Laurel Tree. The leaves a green and glossy. Bay leaf is the fragrant or aromatic leaf from the tree Bay Laurel
Common uses: They are used for medicinal and culinary purposes.
Personal use with reflection: Fancy restaurants use bay leaf in their dishes because of its aroma. It makes the dish smell good. Some of the soups and pies have bay leaf as one of their ingredients. I have noticed the difference of dishes with and without bay lead and their a whole lot difference with the smell.


February
SPOILER!!: Entries
SPOILER!!: Dill
Plant Details: Dill is a perennial or annual herb. They have slender stems, soft leaves, and white or yellow flowers.
Common uses: Dill is commonly used for culinary and traditional uses (ex. medicine).
Personal use with reflection: My mom used to add dill to her recipe of homemade chicken soup. She makes me the soup when I'm ill or when it's cold. She also explained to me the dill adds flavor and aroma to the dish and the result would not be the same if compared with soup without dill.


SPOILER!!: Sage
Plant Details: It is a perennial herb. It was a woody stem, gray-like leaves, and blue or violet or indigo-ish flowers.
Common uses: Sage is more commonly used for culinary and some therapeutic uses.
Personal use with reflection: Thanksgiving Day is one of the celebrations my family joyfully celebrate before. The turkey stuffing with make has sage in it. Obviously, the turkey tasted great!
