Pots with weeds in?

Hi All,
Newbie gardener here, trying to get back into things. The soil in my garden is not conducive to growing vegetables/flowers well, very weedy and full of rocks etc, so for a few years, we grew courgettes, cucumbers, peas, etc, in pots in the garden, and had good fun doing it.
Usually at the start of the season, I'd buy more seeds, then a few 120l packs of soil and start fresh... however the pots i have at the moment are full of weeds from the winter... if the soil can sustain weeds, is it worthwhile me taking the weeds out, cleaning the soil best I can, and using that... I was going to buy some more soil but didn't know if it would just be a waste of money?
Appreciate your thoughts!
