What kind of fresh herbs do you find yourself using the most?

To identify my taste, I like fresh salads, omelets, and cheese spreads....fresh vegetables... I don't have much space, but I would like a couple of treasures for the season...
Thank you.

Hill is about 10' high and 50' wide. It is so steep that it is hard to walk up. A long-flowering perennial, or a low self-spreading decorative grass would be preferred. The soil is bad... rocky and clay...typical for North Carolina.

I rototilled in the past and had nice soil at the top, however, eventually the lighter sand/granite made its way to the top and the lawn died. Approx. 250 sq ft.

I have a very flat back garden with heavy clay soil .In the winter and whenever it rains my lawn turns into a huge puddle and the water just sits there (it only drys out in the summer when it hasnt rained) and it is killing most of the grass .If you try to walk on it you just sink about 6 inches under water! its such a waste of a good sized garden so any helpfull suggestions are very welcome please. I dont want to pave it as it will cost a fortune and have tried airing the lawn with a garden falk which didnt work (I just got very muddy!)
Help?????

Our small backyard is cut in half by a large shed. Basically, we have two yards, one that has immediate access to the house and one that you have to take a walkway between the shed and garage to get to. You can't see one yard from the other. The "extra" backyard behind the shed is 14 x 16, and is covered in gravel right now.

I hate that ugly gravel mess, but I don't know what to do with it. Any ideas?

I have some free time and thought that I would devote some of it to building bridges ,as a side job ,that are sturdy to drive a lawn tractor over.
I have already built 2 for myself, that span over a 5 ft. deep gulch.
I drive my 12 Hp. Cub Cadet tractor over them pulling loads of dirt constantly- so it has proven to be a sturdy made structure. They are both about 8 years old and withstood the elements as well.

My question is- would it be a good idea to market this product fully assembled? Allowing people to be able to use property that they may otherwise not. length-20-25Ft.- $1000.00

I am trying to get complete answer on what would be the best flowers and green plants to plant in partial to full shade that are midsize in height and (Here is the hard part) will do well under pine trees. (Something about the soil around them) I live in WV, so if annuals (which I prefer) they would have to be for my grow zone.
