Quotation for Rosh Hashanah 27:10
מאי קאמר ה"ק אע"פ שרוב תקופה מבחוץ הואיל ויצאו רוב גשמי שנה
Where do they [R'Jose and R'Akiba] differ in practice? - R'Abbahu said: They take different views with regard to seedless onions and Egyptian beans, as we have learnt:<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Sheb. II, 9.');"><sup>11</sup></span> Seedless onions and Egyptian beans which have been kept without water for thirty days before New Year [and are gathered after New Year] are tithed for the outgoing year and are permitted in the Sabbatical year.
Sifrei Devarim
"when you gather in from your threshing-floor and your wine-press": Just as (the fruits of) threshing-floor and wine-press are distinct in that they grow by the water of the preceding year, and their tithes are given according to the tithing order of the preceding year, so, all things that grow by the water of the preceding year are tithed according to the tithing order of the preceding year — to exclude greens, which, not growing by the water of the preceding year, are tithed according to the tithing order of the year to come. These are the words of R. Yossi Haglili.
