What am I growing?! Pics included!

Hello!

I am growing things for the first time in a long time, but I have no idea what they are....

I am sure I bought spinach seeds, because I eat tons of spinach, but it doesn't look like spinach so I'm nervous to cut and eat it... there should also be broccoli but I'm not sure about that either.

Obviously my learning point is to keep the packets and label things 🤦‍♀️😬

Any help identifying the mysterious hopefully edible vegetables very much appreciated!

Did you plant sprouting broccoli? The big leaves look like that.
The lighter green one looks like basil.

Radish, daisy, coriander, basil.
(do I get a prize? 😃)

I definitely planted some type of broccoli but could have sworn I also planted spinach because I'm eating so much of it at the moment!

Definitely didn't plant coriander - I hate it - it has that weird soap taste effect on me!

PS I know I've got Rosemary and Thyme in there and there's a random flowering plant at the back because I liked the flowers..!

So it's the big stuff and the other stuff at the front I have no clue about...

Basil is the shiny leaf.

The third picture looks like basil

Big leaves are definitely a brassica. Agree small lighter ones look like basil
