the first one looks like oregano (or even marjoram?)
second pic is camomile I'm pretty sure
third does look like basil.

Pick a leaf and smell it. Or get your Dad to smell it. If you kept the seed packets that might help as most have a picture of the plant on them.

You're going to have oodles of human and bunny food.  It looks great!

First one looks like either mint or oregano.

Second one looks like camomile.

Third one looks like either basil or peppermint.

It's hard to tell from the photos really since some are so far away. BUT it's a beautiful garden :~)

Do you help your father in the garden?

Bottom  pic   the tall ones in the middle  is Dill.   I grew some so I recognize them.   They are in the 2nd pic too

The 3rd pic I think are basil too.    I have some in my garden.  There are different types of basil.  I didnt' know that.  When I bought the package of seeds I saw different kinds of basil.

no our uncle has a green house thing for school and gives us some plants that are all ready growing, he had the names of them but i couldn't read his handrighting. 

my mom thought the second one looked like camomile and the third we thought was baisl but i have no idiea what the first was.

We are already getting some veggies! we are getting sugar snap peas, radishes, 2 kinds of leaf lettuce, some spring mix, and we did have straw berrys but they are over now.

 Edit: oh i forgot to add we picked our first cucumber yestureday, it was the best i have ever tasted!

Thanks! yes i do! but he does most of it because he knows what he is doing, i don't really know how to run a garden. i planted the seeds and pick the veggies when they are ready! but he does most the weeding.

ok here is the list of what we have in our garden. ( if you could tell me what the bunnys can have out of it that would be great!)

. Radishes ( the leaves. can they have the tops to?)
. Carrots ( leaves/tops)
. 2 kinds of leaf lettuce ( yes)
. spring mix ( yes, but i just found out that bunnys shouldn't have Kale to much and i have been giving it every day! the spring mix has kale in it!)
. corn ( i don't think so, can't it get clogged in there digestive system or something?)
. Giant pumpkin ( i am not sure about that, i know they can have normal pumpkin as treats or something.)
. Watermelon ( i am not sure... maybe as treats?)
. gourds ( not sure, but i am guessing no.)
. tomato's ( yes i think)
. basil ( yes)
. parsley (yes)
. sugar snap peas ( i am not sure because i thought someone said they could once but the BB veggie list says "Peas, snow (no dried or sweet peas)" and i wasn't sure if it was considered a sweet pea.)
. Romain lettuce ( yes)
.broccoli ( the leaves and stems i think. i know it can cause problems)
. chamomile ( yes)
. and the other thing that might be dill oregano or something (yes i think)

. 2 kinds of leaf lettuce ( yes)
. spring mix ( yes, but i just found out that bunnys shouldn't have Kale to much and i have been giving it every day! the spring mix has kale in it!) if there is very much kale in it you can just leave it out, but as a mix it may just have a little
. corn ( i don't think so, can't it get clogged in there digestive system or something?) no corn for buns
. Giant pumpkin ( i am not sure about that, i know they can have normal pumpkin as treats or something.) cooked corn is used in special diets for sicky tum bunnies 
. Watermelon ( i am not sure... maybe as treats?) yes but mine won't touch it
. gourds ( not sure, but i am guessing no.) I don't know this one
. tomato's ( yes i think) no
. basil ( yes)
. parsley (yes)
. sugar snap peas ( i am not sure because i thought someone said they could once but the BB veggie list says "Peas, snow (no dried or sweet peas)" and i wasn't sure if it was considered a sweet pea.) yes to sugar snap peas
. Romain lettuce ( yes)
.broccoli ( the leaves and stems i think. i know it can cause problems) I personally never give it but it is safe as long as your rabbit doesn't get gas from it in excess
. chamomile ( yes)
. and the other thing that might be dill oregano or something (yes i think) yes

Tomatoes are fine but not the leaves. I would just remove the seeds and actually if they like this, it might be a good treat so don't rule it out.

As for the Spring Mix - are you sure that you are growing this in your garden? If it is it is probably just small lettuces no kale so that should be fine. Kale really is okay to feed them but since you probably aren't growing that, no need to talk about it.

I can tell you my rabbits love dill, basil and mint. Mint it easy to grow but evasive so you would want to grow that in a pot separately - ask your Dad about growing some mint if he isn't already.

You garden is wonderful! I've been picking up cheap plants (herbs, mints, parsley,etc) at HEB, Walmart, Home Depot for 25 and 50 cents. They're leftovers that have grown a bit scraggy, but once they're in the ground and watered they pick right up in a few days. Check for a local garden club or freecyle, someone is always asking for or offering plants.

The piggies are back, add Brownie and Sweetpea to the mix.
