Not surprising considering that English language itself has no logic. Box is boxes but ox is oxen.

Could the top one be a type of basil? Or marjoram, perhaps. And to the right of the fat hen is parsley.
Try rubbing a bit of a leaf between your fingers and see if you recognise the smell, maybe?

OK, you made me look, very funny!
(I usually don't click on pinterest because they're so aggressive about me "following" or signing up with annoying pop-ups.)
Then of course we park a car in our driveway, but in some states you drive on a parkway. Go figure.

When my Boy was learning to talk he reckoned if you only had one box it was a boc
Incidentally, the original language here came from India
English is no doubt based on Sanskrit and so do many other languages but it is the English that gave it the finishing touches and the results are there for all to see
I still do not know if you opened that link
The one next to the Fan Hen is Cilantro, I 100% know that one, due to taste, smell and my wife... haha.
The top one looks like basil, smells like basil, but didnt look like it to me.
wife says possible thai basil?

I told ya, you made me look!I still do not know if you opened that link
@CMETEquinsuOcha , I was going to edit my post to say "...or cilantro"!
Yah maybe Thai basil? It doesn't have that strong sweet smell that sweet basil does. I grew it last year.
I am still curious about some of the plants. the second to last, has got me stumped... and second one smells of licorice.
Ok, when I looked at these, I'd say the first two look a little like basil - is the stem round or square? If it's round, I'd say basil (especially if you say it smells like licorice), if square, some kind of mint.
As for the fourth one, this is where common names catch me up. That is certainly a plant we call lamb's quarters (aka, wild spinach, pigweed) - though 'fat hen' may be its common name outside the northeast US. It's Latin name is Chenopodium album.
The plant in the two bottom pictures looks a little like catnip, Nepeta cataria, though the one next to it in the bottom picture is definitely cilantro, I concur with previous posters on that.
