Question
Vegetables grew in my pot during the Shemitah year [probably remnants of seeds from last year], I uprooted them, but soon it will be the eighth year. Can I plant them in the pot after the Shemitah year?
Answer
Forbidden.
Source
Sefichin are forbidden to eat but permitted for benefit (see Bava Metzia 118: Menachot 84. Shaar HaMelech Shemitah, Chapter 4, Halacha 2, commentary "Veda"), but it is forbidden to use them for sowing or to feed them to one's animals (Chazon Ish Shemitah, Siman 9, Se'if Katan 6; Siman 13, Se'if Katan 16).
