The second looks like Black horehound (Ballota nigra) which is a 'weed' but very pretty and the bees adore it. Flowers like a dead-nettle coming from the leaf stem, same shape but a lovely lavender-purple. It grows into a large clump if left. If you have room for it and don't mind a few natives, pop it somewhere out of the way, mine is partially in shade.

Could the last one be a spurge? Now the net's spreading to wild plants its perhaps getting a bit easier to think laterally!

When I look at the last one, the back of my brain says, "Origanum". The front says, "Why? What kind?", and the back replies, "None of your beeswax!" After that, it starts to get noisy in my head. ;)
