Question
From when is it prohibited to buy tomatoes in the market without supervision?
Answer
On the 3rd of Tishrei 5782, any produce of this type harvested from Rosh Hashanah is sanctified with the sanctity of the seventh year, and there is a prohibition on commerce. However, according to the Rambam, the prohibition of sefichin applies from this time, but according to the Rash and Ramban, the prohibition of sefichin will only apply from the time the species begins to grow in the seventh year, starting from the 19th of Adar I, there is produce in the market that was sown in the seventh year.
