Herbs are quite easy to grow

Nor French Marigolds, but the Calendula Marigolds are yummy and easy to grow.
Nasturtiums go down well too.
Lavendar and pansies are tasty too!

Yeah pansys and violas are fine and mine like lavender.
I generally feed basil, sage, mint, parsley, coriander, thyme, dill, rosemary and just get different varieties of these.
Last year I grew quite a lot of herbs for my bunnies:-
Basil
Parsley flat leaf & curled
Coriander
Thyme
Dill
Sweet Marjoram
Mint
They loved them all apart from the mint which they weren't that keen on for some reason, they suffered no ill effects from any of them.
I have also read Bunnies are not to have chives so I don't feed them but haven't heard of any other herbs they shouldn't have.
Good luck with growing your herbs, I have planted a load in seed trays and some have started growing now
Have also planted some plantain seeds for the buns too

so no to marigolds gosh i had them out last year as thought they were okay
The larger marigolds (calendula) are fine, but I read somewhere that the small french marigolds shouldn't be fed (but you never know how true things are that you read in books anyway!)
Mine also love Love In A Mist which grows absolutely anywhere.
Love in the mist is okay? shucks i just got rid of a load from my garden as i thought it was bad for bunnies
