מאימתי אוכלים פירות האילן בשביעית. משום דדרשינן לאכלה ולא להפסד ואם אוכלן קודם בישולן היינו הפסד:
הפגים. פגי תאנה כדכתיב (ש״ה ב) התאנה חנטה פגיה:
משהזריחו. האדימו וזהו התחלת בשולן:
אוכל בהם פתו בשדה. אבל ללקט ולהכניס לבית אינו רשאי עד שיגמרו:
בחלו. שגדל הרבה, ודומה לו וגם נפשם בחלה בי (זכריה י״א:ח׳). ובירושלמי יליף לה מדכתיב (ויקרא כ״ה:י״ב-י״ג) תהיה כל תבואתה לאכול וכתיב (שם) מן השדה תאכלו את תבואתה, בשתי תבואות הכתוב מדבר אחת מן הבית ואחת מן השדה:

משהביא מים – when he presses the fruit/wrings them out, and the liquid comes out from them.
משהבאישו – when they are called in the early stage of ripening, and that is when they begin to ripen and they have ripened until the shells of the grapes that are inside appear from the outside from within the shell.
משהביא מים. שסוחטו ויוצא ממנו משקה:
משהבאישו. משיקראו באשה, והיינו כשיתחילו להתבשל ונתבשלו עד שהחרצנים שבפנים נראים מבחוץ מתוך הקליפה:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ
What is Mishnah Yomi?

Who started the Mishnah Yomi program?
In 1934, the Kozoglover Gaon, Rav Aryeh Tzvi Frommer, who took over from Rav Meir Shapiro (the founder of Daf Yomi) as the head of Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin, initiated the Mishnah Yomi cycle, focusing on Seder Zeraim and Seder Taharos. After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah. The idea of studying two Mishnayos daily gained the support of figures like Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, the Tchebiner Rov, and the Gerer Rebbe, marking the formal inception of Mishnah Yomi.

מאימתי אוכלים פירות האילן בשביעית – because we have expounded, “to eat it” and not “to become lost” and if they eat them before they ripen, that is loss.
הפגים – unripe dates, as it is written (Song of Songs 2:13): “The green figs form on the fig tree, [the vines in blossom give off fragrance].”
משהזריחו – they redden and this is the beginning of their ripening.
אוכל בהם פתו בשדה – but to gather and to bring them into his house, he is not allowed until they should complete [their ripening].
בחלו – that it grew a great deal, and similar to it (Zechariah 11:8): “and they in turn were disgusted with me.” But in the Jerusalem [Talmud] it derives it from (Leviticus 25:7): “[and your cattle and the beasts in your land] may eat all its yield,” and it is written (Leviticus 25:12): “you may only eat the growth directly from the field,” with two grains the Biblical verse speaks – one from the house and the other from the field.
