40. No. The first year you leave it alone. Second year, skim. Third+ eat all you want.
And they are BEAUTIFUL plants. The ones that grow tall turn into 4' fern-like trees with small reddish-orange berries that look like something out of a fairy forest. I've only got a 4'x8' bed with about 20 crowns and that's more than enough to keep us happy.
Just prepare a bed about 1 1/2' deep - add humus if necessary. Put in the crowns and be patient. They'll keep going for 20 years or so. Oh - now is the time to do it.
