Genesis 30:14

And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah: ‘Give me, I pray thee, of thy son’s mandrakes.’

What's bothering Rashi?

The verse pauses to note that Reuben found the mandrakes during the wheat harvest. Why specify the season at all?

Look closely. What seems repeated, missing, out of order, or strange?
