Default New Garden(er), please help me identify plants

Hello, I've inherited a garden -a month or so back.

I've been trying my best to keep everything growing and removing the
weeds, but I'm unsure what the plants are and the proper names for
them are.

Any help would be much appreciated.

They can all be viewed here, at picasa:

Many thanks,

#6 looks like thyme.

In #9, the plant in the center-back is a carrot or possibly parsley.
The plants along the left appear to be beets.

#13 is yellow oxalis, an awful weed. Get rid of it as soon a possible!
Be sure you get at least some of the taproot.

Where are you? That is, what is your climate? Knowing your climate
might help to identify plants growing outdoors.
