can you please tell me what plant I am growing here, I think it was a stick I used last year to act as a stake, and now it has grown, leaves are very soft to touch.  Thanks

    Salix caprea aka Goat willow? 
    Like most willows it'll root from a stick stuck in the ground, and the fluffy seeds float in the air and root all over the place. 
    Great for wildlife if you have several acres but not a tree for most gardens.

    Thank you @Dovefromabove I shall pull it out.  On the bright side, I now got a free pot.
