MISHNAH: One fertilizes and hoes in melon and gourd fields until the New Year; the same applies to irrigated fields. One trims, removes, dusts, and smokes until the New Year. Rebbi Simeon said, one may even remove a leaf from a bunch in the Sabbatical year. One may remove stones until the New Year. One cuts, prunes, and shapes until the New Year. Rebbi Joshua says, like the pruning and shaping of the fifth year, so is that of the sixth. Rebbi Simeon says, any time that I may work the tree I may shape it.

HALAKHAH: “One gives manure and one hoes in melon fields”, etc. May one plough for these? It was stated: “As long as one may plough one may fertilize and hoe; if one may not plough then one may neither fertilize nor hoe.” Rebbi Yose said, the Mishnah implies this: “One fertilizes and hoes in melon and gourd fields until the New Year; the same applies to irrigated fields,” and we have stated on this: “One ploughs irrigated fields until the New Year; Rebbi says until three days before the New Year so that one may sow and it starts to form roots, or one plants and it starts to form roots.” If it would grow roots in three days! “Rebbi says, until three months before the New Year so that one may sow rice, have it form roots, transplant it and have the roots take hold.”

One trims to remove outgrowths. One removes leaves. One dusts, puts dust over it. One smokes, one makes smoke under it. It was stated: “One straightens them, one makes them grow sidewise.” One straightens for it. One makes it grow sidewise: The colleagues say, one makes a forked support for it; Rebbi Yose says, one weighs it down by a stone.

It was stated: “One strings and spreads.” So is the baraita: One strings vines and spreads them on the poles. “At a place where one usually strings and spreads before Sukkot one strings and spreads before Sukkot; after Sukkot, one strings and spreads after Sukkot. Rebbi Simeon says, only higher than the notch.”

Rebbi Jeremiah in the name of Rebbi Hoshaia, Rebbi Jacob bar Aḥa, Rebbi Yose bar Ḥanina in the name of Rebbi Ḥama, father of Rebbi Hoshaia: He takes all accumulations with it. “Rebbi Simeon said, one may even remove a leaf from a bunch in the Sabbatical year.” The position of Rebbi Simeon is inverted: We have stated there (Mishnah 2:10): “One may tear off rice in the Sabbatical year; the words of Rebbi Simeon are that one may not trim.” And here, he says so? There is a difference here, he is like one who saves from a fire.

“One may remove stones until the New Year”, etc. There, we have stated: “He who removes stones takes the upper ones and leaves those lying on the ground.” And here you say so? Rebbi Jonah said, there when they are loose, here when they are connected to the ground.

Rebbi Yose said, we were of the opinion to say that Rebbi Simeon holds with Rebbi Joshua in cutting, that there are two tannaїtic positions: “One may remove stones until the New Year, one cuts, prunes, and shapes until the New Year” following the rabbis. “Rebbi Joshua says, like the pruning and shaping of the fifth year, so is that of the sixth.” But there are three Tannaïm. “One may remove stones until the New Year, one cuts, prunes, and shapes until the New Year” following the rabbis. “Rebbi Joshua says, like the pruning and shaping of the fifth year, so is that of the sixth,” even after that. “Rebbi Simeon says, any time that I may work the tree I may shape it,” until Pentecost.
