Question
From when is it forbidden to buy potatoes in the market without supervision?
Answer
Until the 16th of Kislev 5782, all potatoes were harvested in the sixth year, and since then, there are potatoes on the market that were harvested in the seventh year, which have the sanctity of the seventh year, and there is also a prohibition on commerce. However, according to Rambam, the prohibition of sefichin applies from this time, but according to Rash and Ramban, the prohibition of sefichin will apply only from the time the species began to grow in the seventh year, which started from the 4th of Shevat 5782.
