Digging up a plant and moving it to a covered balcony
Question
BDE my father passed away. We have finished shiva and tomorrow I am clearing his house. Can I dig a plant from the garden and move it to a pot and keep it in a pot on a covered balcony? Or am I not allowed to dig it up.
Answer
Rabbi Moshe Bloom
You are allowed to dig up the plant and keep it in an unperforated pot on your covered balcony .
