Can I leave my ginger in the ground or should I harvest it? This is the first year.

I grow mine in pots and harvest the ginger corms as needed, one or 2 pieces. If you dont touch it, it will die back and re shoot in spring. It will then grow bigger corms. Often gardeners only harvest it after two years especially in colder areas.
