#Some begin a series of forty days of fasting after Tu BeAv, corresponding to the forty days Moshe Rabbenu was on Har Sinai. Although those forty days begin with Rosh [[Chodesh Elul]], the series is begun earlier due to the days one may not fast, such as [[Shabbat]] and [[Rosh Chodesh]]. If one wants to space out the fasts even more, he must begin from after [[Tisha Be'Av]].<ref>Elya Zuta 581:9, Yosef Ometz (Yospa) Siman 496, Mishna Berurah 568:34</ref> | #Some begin a series of forty days of fasting after Tu BeAv, corresponding to the forty days Moshe Rabbenu was on Har Sinai.

#Any seeds or saplings planted ''before'' Tu BeAv can count the following [[Rosh HaShana]] as the completion of the first year of the [[Orlah]] count, because it takes two weeks (from Tu BeAv to Rosh [[Chodesh Elul]]) for Halacha to recognize its integration into the ground and thirty days (the month of Elul) to count as a whole year. Anything planted ''after'' Tu BeAv must count a full year ending on the next [[Rosh Hashana]], not the approaching one.<ref>Yalkut Yosef (Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, Yoreh Deah, Orlah 3:2)</ref> | #Any seeds or saplings planted ''before'' Tu BeAv can count the following [[Rosh HaShana]] as the completion of the first year of the [[Orlah]] count, because it takes two weeks (from Tu BeAv to Rosh [[Chodesh Elul]]) for Halacha to recognize its integration into the ground and thirty days (the month of Elul) to count as a whole year.
