Mint

The foliage and growth habit does resemble a species of mint. And if you bruise a leaf and it smells minty, it is likely one. Mints are very vigorous growers and tend to take over the garden, so keep it under control. Better yet, dig out the mint, re-plant some in a container so that its growth can be controlled. Also dig out the ivy and any weeds that pop up. Then put in some good organic material or mulch and fertilize the newly planted area with a slow-release or organic fertilizer formulated for edibles. As long as the bedding area has full sun, tomatoes will do very well and herbs such as basil, oregano, chives, etc. Parsley is more of a cool season plant so wait until late summer or early fall to put this in…Good luck and happy gardening!
