Commento su Pe'ah 6:9
סְאָה תְבוּאָה עֲקוּרָה וּסְאָה שֶׁאֵינָהּ עֲקוּרָה, וְכֵן בָּאִילָן, וְהַשּׁוּם וְהַבְּצָלִים, אֵינָן מִצְטָרְפִין לְסָאתַיִם, אֶלָּא שֶׁל עֲנִיִּים הֵם. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹמֵר, אִם בָּאת רְשׁוּת הֶעָנִי בָּאֶמְצָע, אֵינָן מִצְטָרְפִין, וְאִם לָאו, הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ מִצְטָרְפִין:
Un Seah di grano sradicato e un Seah di grano che non viene sradicato - e allo stesso modo per alberi, aglio e cipolle - non si combinano per fare due Seah , ma piuttosto sono per i poveri. Il rabbino Yosi dice: se la proprietà del povero si frappone tra loro, non si combinano; se no, anzi questi si combinano.
Bartenura on Mishnah Peah
עקורה – detached, and is not uprooted, is attached to the ground, and does not combine to the two Se’ah and a fiber is not forgotten, but if he forgot them, it is forgotten, and especially if he forgotten both of them, for if he forgot the uprooted but did not forget that which was not uprooted, that which was not uprooted saves/prevents that which is uprooted that is next to it.

English Explanation of Mishnah Peah
Introduction
Above in mishnah seven we learned that if a stalk of grain has two seahs it is not considered forgotten. Our mishnah asks what happens if he forgets a stalk that has one seah and doesn’t forget some already harvested grain that is also one seah? Do the two add up causing the two-seah rule to still apply?

וכן באילן – A Se’ah of detached fruit next to an attached does not combine, and they are forgotten.

English Explanation of Mishnah Peah
A seah of plucked grain and a seah of unplucked grain, and also trees; and garlic and to onions do not combine to count as two seahs, but rather they must be left to the poor. If the unforgotten plucked grain and the forgotten unplucked grain add up to two seahs, they do not combine, and they still must be left for the poor. The same holds true for a seah of unharvested fruit and a seah of harvested fruit if both are forgotten they do not combine together and both belong to the poor. In addition the mishnah notes that forgotten garlic and onions do not combine together to count as two seahs, even if both are harvested or both are unharvested. This is because garlic and onions are different species, even though they go together very well in many delicious dishes (yum I love garlic and onion).

Bartenura on Mishnah Peah
והשום והבצלים – A Se’ah of standing crop of garlic and a Se’ah of standing crop of onions does not combine to two Se’ah of standing crop. Alternatively, a Se’ah of uprooted garlic and a Se’ah of garlic that is not uprooted, and similarly, a Se’ah of uprooted onions and a Se’ah of onions that are not uprooted do not combine.

English Explanation of Mishnah Peah
Rabbi Yose says: if anything that belongs to the poor comes in between them, the two are not combined together; otherwise, they do combine. Rabbi Yose says that if there is between one seah and the other something that belongs to the poor, such as gleanings, then the two seahs do not join together. However, if they are lying right next to each other with nothing that belongs to the poor interrupting them, then they do join together to add up to two seahs and they do not belong to the poor.

Bartenura on Mishnah Peah
אם באת – for example when there is leaning between one Se’ah and [another] Se’ah , and similarly, in a vineyard, there is the poor man’s share of grapes between a Se’ah and [another] Se’ah. But regarding fruit of a tree, there is not found the domain of the poor in the middle, for there is no gleaning or poor man’s share of grapes with a train. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yosi.
