Maybe there should be a "What's this" forum ;D
I really must label stuff, this plant must of been taken from a cutting or one sent to me and i have split it, as 4 of them were in a pot that i have planted. I have no-idea if it's edible or not.

This is growing wild by the side of my plot, it's about 4-5' high and smells a bit like rosemary.

Second one's mugwort. You can smoke it in small quantities.
my guess on the first one is Escallonia
Is the first one a wee bit prickly...its not a young Escallonia is it?
