the purple shamrock is in the oxalis family, and as such should not be fed too much or often. The fern is usually not a food item. I don't know the last plant, but it looks similar to mint. Does a broken leaf have a minty scent?

Its pepper mint. I can assure you. I'm not sure if they can eat or not but I'm thinking not.

flowers don't look right for peppermint, but it definitely seems to be some sort of lamiaceae

Really? I have a row a peppermint (to keep fleas away) and the flowers look identical.

Hmmm! Very interesting! Mine aren't peppermint then! I bought mine at a swapmeet. The seller said they were pepper.
