Tithing a vegetable that grew in a pot
Question
(The obligation to tithe the produce takes effect only when all the processing that is done outside the house is finished, and the produce is brought inside the house. This is called “seeing the house façade”.) When is one supposed to tithe a vegetable that grew inside a house in a pot? The problem is that it did not see the façade of the house.
Answer
It’s regarded as seeing the façade of the house from the very beginning, and has to be tithed immediately.
