Hello,
Newbie gardener here, we were attempting to grow Honesty plants in this patch from seed but this monster started growing instead...any ideas what it is? The leaves are steadily getting larger and larger!
The leaves look right for Honesty - maybe it's just not sent up the flowers yet?

The flowers will be next year. That looks like honesty to me too.. Come autumn and the rainy season I'd spread them out a bit
Thank you both for the confirmation! I was convinced for a while it really was but the lack of flowers confused me.
They're biennials. You sow them one year and they flower the next. Then they die so let them seed. The seed pods are decorative as well.
Enjoy them
