In my opinion Mullein is one of the most versatile AND adaptable plants you can and SHOULD grow.

Here is a video I made about it.

Your video popped up on my YouTube recommended videos a couple of weeks ago! I only just saw your post today, somehow missed it.  
I was walking in my garden and spotted a new to me plant. I'm wondering if it's mullein.

Yep, that's a first year Mullein. If you let it grow this year, it will flower next year.

I grow two species of mullein: common and black. Both shown in this photo.
