What plant is this?

I have a volunteer plant growing that I have no idea what it is.

Aside from the picture I can tell you the leafs have lots of little hair like things and they feel soft and fuzzy to the touch.

Thanks!

Just be aware you might get huge fat white caterpillars with yellow and grey markings feeding on the leaves. These are Mullein Moth caterpillars and do no harm whatsoever to your veggies. I leave a few plants around every year just for them... they are beautiful to look at. Once they have pupated, the plants grows new leaves anyway.
