16 May 11, safraz (Australia - tropical climate): Hello, I planted some ginger plants on May 2010 (last yr), i haven't harvest them to date (May 2011). The plants have die but the ginger is still in the ground. What i will like to know is if i left them there would they resprout? If yes, how long will it take to resprout? Thank you

I don't grow it but would suggest you ask a green grocer or nursery about it. Bunnings might even have it.
