I've planted a lot of herbs and vegetables in the yard. Here are some of my favorites (aside from fresh ground pepper and salt):

garlic
onion
oregano
basil
thyme
rosemary
bay leaf
coriander/cilantro
peppers (various flavors & heat)

I also juice my tomatoes then grind them in a food mill that pours sauce out one side and skin and seeds out the other. I take that skin and seeds and dry it in the sun or oven, depending on the time of year, and then grind it up very fine in the food processor. This is a good source of tomato flavor but it's also an excellent source of the vitamin Lycopene. It's what gives the tomato its red color. I keep it in bags in the freezer and from there I fill a small shaker.
