Default globe artichokes ?

I cut mine back at the end of the season and mulched as the book instructed.
But now they're about three foot tall and plunging merrily into spring.
What to do? Leave them to their own little artichoke wisdom, or chop them
back again?

Any thoughts?

thanks

Leave 'em to it. They are vigourous once the get dug in.

Any thoughts?

thanks
