I grow borage as a companion for tomatoes.
It's about 3-5 ft tall, purple flowers, fuzzy,you can candy the 
flowers-very good, pretty little things. Ah, the page finally loaded. 
Keith, borage usually grows in the summer with tomatoes and peppers.  It 
could be borage, but why would it still be so small this late in the 
year?  It is not lambs ears, so my other fuzzy leaved ideas are mullein 
and borage..  Mullein leaves are usually whiter-more gray-green than 
that, but on the other hand, I don't recall a small borage plant having 
leaves that large, nevertheless, I'm going with borage.
