I planted crowns last year in a raised bed. As of today, March 2nd, I have a lot of spears and ferns that are 3-4 feet high. Do I continue to let them grow or cut it all down at the soil level? Can’t seem to find the right answer.

You must be south of me. I'm in Bastrop. My "ferns" (not sure what to call those) are over 5 feet tall now! I'm going to let them grow now until they die out when it freezes. I got one spear the first year!
