Question
We sowed a wheat field in the sixth year, and the rabbi checked it and said it is permissible to harvest in the seventh year [it brought a third before the seventh year], when we come to harvest, we discover that a few vegetables are growing that the wind brought from neighboring fields?
Answer
There is no prohibition of sefichin on them, but they are sanctified with the sanctity of the seventh year.
