Hesitiating about foxglove but not convinced. What's the
dfw area?

I'm more inclined to go for teasel as there are some spikes on those leaves. not foxglove for sure.
what did you grow in it last year?

I'm in north Texas. I grew herbs, zucchini, cucumber, and sugar snaps.

SB, I thought its Lesser Burdock but really has me stumped. The leaves look like hardy gerbera but must be a weed though.

Could it be Solanum viarum, or Tropical Soda Apple? The leaves don't look quite right, and the thorns on yours seem to be black, but its similar, link below

Oh dear. So it looks as though if you really want to know what it is you might have to wait for it to flower and ask again. If you add your location to your profile it can help to eliminate unlikely suggestions (mine for example...)
I never noticed those thorns!
