If they are newly planted crowns this year, and haven't been very strong, I wouldn't want to remove all the current stems.  You're not really supposed to harvest from the plant in its first year.

You could by all means try, but it might impact on the plant's productivity next year.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...
