spring greens or kale or water cress
carrot or parsnip
apple or melon
parsley or dill
so for example they have greens, carrot, apple and parsley
are they aloud to eat them foods am I feeding them too much or is it ok
they also have plenty of hay and water

It is good that you have chosen the proper pellets for your guinea pig.Under 6 months of age they should have alfalfa hay in their cage at all times after 6 months change it to Timothy as the alfalfa can lead to obesity and bladder stones, however, they need the protein and calcium it as they are growing.
I will type for you the veggie list taken form the U C Davis School of Veterinarian.
Listed below are some nutritious foods for you to incorporate into your pets diet. Nutrition plays a major role in the health ans longevity of any animal. Keep in mind that moderation and variety are the keys to offering a complete,well-balanced diet.
Veggies Excellent in Vitamin C
Turnip greens
Mustard greens
Dandelion greens
Kale
Brussels sprouts
Parsley
Collards
veggies good in vitamin C
Broccoli leaves
Beet greens
Cauliflower
Broccoli florets
Oranges and cabbage offer some Vitamin C, however, when compared to the above foods the amount is nominal.
Fruit is too be fed only 3 days as the sugar count is to high. Also many fruits are acrid and that will cause sores in their mouth.
Carrots should be fed only 1 baby carrot daily also due to the high sugar count, i admit i cheat and let Miya have 2 or 3 because she tends to be on the slight side.
