What are the most common spices?
English foods use a lot of wheat flour and butter. Lamb, beef, and fish were favorite meats.

What are some culinary uses for tarragon?
I love using tarragon on chicken. just sprinkle some dried crushed leaves. It's delicious! Tarragon makes an excellent ingredient for infusing through vinegar. Just fill ajar with the bruised leaves, and pour warmed cider or wine vinegar over them. Seal and leave for two weeks, shaking daily. Then strain off the vinegar and bottle.
You can use it in a variety of dishes, although in sparing quantities as the flavor is quite strong. Also, cooking it for a long time can make it taste peculiar. Try it mixed in dressings and sauces, or in a herb butter. Rub it over uncooked chicken, fish or 'gamey' meats.
Use it in the same way you use regular basil - in tomato dishes, pesto, any vegetable, especially beans, peppers, eggplants, soups, and stuffings. Greek basil has the advantage over normal basil of having smaller leaves and softer stems. It's flavor is also quite strong.
Medicinally, it has antibacterial and antispasmodic properties, and can be applied to insect bites.

How much water does a basil plant need?
Sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum) when planted outdoors, likes lots of sun, rich soil and regular water. At least twice per week in summer, the leaves will start to droop if you aren't watering it enough. Container planting will need more frequent watering - perhaps once per day in hot weather.
Indoors basil needs regular watering by thorough soaking and draining, but should never be left standing in water or over-watered. once per week is usually good.
How do you care for potted basil?
Buy some seeds and put them into a pot with soil. Keep it humid. The plants will start growing after about 10 days. When you want to plant small basil-plants, take care, that they do get enough sun and no rain. They need lots of water, but they don't want water on the leafs. They grow best, when you keep them inside.

It varies with what you use the herbs for. A plants or herb's make-up is of chemicals, compounds, and complexes that in some cases help with not only physical but mental needs along with many other uses. You must use caution and very good common since before using any plants to fill a need.
Common since and caution tells us not to take a medication before knowing how to use it, facts, warnings, and how it will help; that applies to herbs as well. Once you figure out the problem (examples: unbalance of diet, digestive problems, skin irritations, migraines...so on) then you can find out what treatments are good for you as a whole.
