It does look like Mullein. Just be aware that if it's not a second year plant it won't send up a stalk, but it kind of looks like it may be getting taller already, but can't really tell from the pictures.

I need to find some things to do with it. I thought salve but sounds like you mostly use the flowers for that, and the leaves are used for tea. May have to try to become a tea drinker

Dry them and save it for tea in winter, it's helpful for cold and flu!

Thats the plan, I have 4 plants behind my garden and know of a few more on the path I like to bike on so we will let those get bigger before harvesting some leaves.

I've been eyeing some as well, I don't have any on my property but I've found a few off the beaten path that I'm waiting so I can harvest seeds, since I have enough in my apothecary for this winter.
