I just bought 2 pounds of fresh baby artichokes now what should I do with them? Any ideas and recipes are welcomed. I would like to have them for Easter.

I have been driving past a field full of artichokes every morning for the last few weeks now. I'd never seen them in the field before this, just in the market or the produce stand. It's amazing how the thin stalk can support that huge bulb.
Now they're starting to turn brown and rot in the filed. Last year it was red bell peppers so ripe they were falling off the vines and shriveling up. I wanted to stop the car and just pick myself a couple of arms full, but I was afraid of getting shot. I hate it when that happens!
Why would a farmer go through all the trouble of planting 2 or 3 acres of something, and then just let it die off?
