Multi-purpose Sunflowers

I have CFB growing up a sunflower. Which is very exciting. I cut my first sunflower yesterday because it had rotted at the base and fell over. Stripped all the leaves and side buds off , stuck it in a jar of water. Today it’s started opening. I didn’t grow as many sunflowers as I’d like due to lack of space at the moment. Numbers will build in future years. I’m thinking of having a sunflower bed in the veg garden. As well as the odd ones I plant with other crops and the ones in the cottage garden.
