Mishnah 1א׳

עֲרוּגָה שֶׁהִיא שִׁשָּׁה טְפָחִים עַל שִׁשָּׁה טְפָחִים, זוֹרְעִים בְּתוֹכָהּ חֲמִשָּׁה זֵרְעוֹנִים, אַרְבָּעָה בְּאַרְבַּע רוּחוֹת הָעֲרוּגָה, וְאֶחָד בָּאֶמְצַע. הָיָה לָהּ גְּבוּל גָּבוֹהַּ טֶפַח, זוֹרְעִין בְּתוֹכָהּ שְׁלֹשָׁה עָשָׂר, שְׁלֹשָׁה עַל כָּל גְּבוּל וּגְבוּל, וְאֶחָד בָּאֶמְצַע. לֹא יִטַּע רֹאשׁ הַלֶּפֶת בְּתוֹךְ הַגְּבוּל, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהוּא מְמַלְאֵהוּ. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, שִׁשָּׁה בָּאֶמְצַע:

A garden bed that is six handbreadths by six handbreadths, one may sow five different kinds of seed within it, namely, four [species] one on [each of] the four sides of the bed, and one in the center [leaving the corners, one handbreadth by one handbreadth empty]. If it [the bed] has a border [on all four sides] one handbreadth high [and one handbreadth wide, thus the bed measures 8 x 8] thirteen different species may be sown in it; three on each border and one in the middle. One may not plant turnip heads in the border as they will fill it up [and it appears all intermingle]. Rabbi Yehudah says, six different species [may be sown] in the middle [for a total eighteen species].

Mishnah 2ב׳

כָּל מִין זְרָעִים אֵין זוֹרְעִים בַּעֲרוּגָה, וְכָל מִין יְרָקוֹת זוֹרְעִין בַּעֲרוּגָה. חַרְדָּל וַאֲפוּנִים הַשּׁוּפִין, מִין זְרָעִים. אֲפוּנִים הַגַּמְלָנִים, מִין יָרָק. גְּבוּל שֶׁהָיָה גָבוֹהַּ טֶפַח וְנִתְמַעֵט, כָּשֵׁר, שֶׁהָיָה כָשֵׁר מִתְּחִלָּתוֹ. הַתֶּלֶם וְאַמַּת הַמַּיִם שֶׁהֵם עֲמֻקִּים טֶפַח, זוֹרְעִים לְתוֹכָן שְׁלֹשָׁה זֵרְעוֹנִין, אֶחָד מִכָּאן, וְאֶחָד מִכָּאן, וְאֶחָד בָּאֶמְצַע:

It is forbidden to sow [different] species [of seeds that are normally grown in large fields] in one bed, but [diffrent] species of herbs may be sown in one bed. Mustard and small peas are [considered] seeds, [while] large peas are [considered] herbs. [If] a border [around a bed] that had been one handbreadth high was lowered, it remains valid, because it was originally valid. A furrow or a [dried up] water channel that are one handbreadth deep, one may sow three [different] species of seeds, one [species] on one side, and one [species] on the other side and one in the middle.

Mishnah 3ג׳

הָיָה רֹאשׁ תּוֹר יָרָק נִכְנָס לְתוֹךְ שְׂדֵה יָרָק אַחֵר, מֻתָּר, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהוּא נִרְאֶה כְּסוֹף שָׂדֵהוּ. הָיְתָה שָׂדֵהוּ זָרוּעַ יָרָק, וְהוּא מְבַקֵּשׁ לִטַּע בְּתוֹכוֹ שׁוּרָה שֶׁל יָרָק אַחֵר, רַבִּי יִשְׁמָעֵאל אוֹמֵר, עַד שֶׁיְּהֵא הַתֶּלֶם מְפֻלָּשׁ מֵרֹאשׁ הַשָּׂדֶה וְעַד רֹאשׁוֹ. רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא אוֹמֵר, אֹרֶךְ שִׁשָּׁה טְפָחִים וְרֹחַב מְלֹאוֹ. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, רֹחַב כִּמְלֹא רֹחַב הַפַּרְסָה:

If a triangular corner point of herbs enters into a field of a different herb it is permitted [it is not considered kilayim], because it is obvious that it is the end of the field. If the field was sown with [one species of] herbs and he wishes to plant in it one row of different herbs, Rabbi Yishmael says, [he may do so] providing that the furrow is open [runs through] from one end of the field to the other. Rabbi Akivah says, the length [of the furrow] must be six handbreadths and the width must be its fullsize [six handbreadths]. Rabbi Yehudah says, [the furrow must be] the width of a full footstep [one handbreadth].

Mishnah 4ד׳

הַנּוֹטֵעַ שְׁתֵּי שׁוּרוֹת שֶׁל קִשּׁוּאִין, שְׁתֵּי שׁוּרוֹת שֶׁל דְּלוּעִים, שְׁתֵּי שׁוּרוֹת שֶׁל פּוֹל הַמִּצְרִי, מֻתָּר. שׁוּרָה שֶׁל קִשּׁוּאִים, שׁוּרָה שֶׁל דְּלוּעִים, שׁוּרָה שֶׁל פּוֹל הַמִּצְרִי, אָסוּר. שׁוּרָה שֶׁל קִשּׁוּאִים, שׁוּרָה שֶׁל דְּלוּעִים, שׁוּרָה שֶׁל פּוֹל הַמִּצְרִי, וְשׁוּרָה שֶׁל קִשּׁוּאִים, רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר מַתִּיר, וַחֲכָמִים אוֹסְרִין:

If one plants two rows of cucumbers, two rows of gourds and two rows of Egyptian beans [with furrows separating between them], it is permitted [because they are discernable]. [However, if he planted] one row of cucumbers, one row of gourds and one row of Egyptian beans, they are prohibited [they appear to have been planted together]. [If he planted] one row of cucumbers, one row of gourds and one of Egyptian beans, and [then ] a row of cucumbers, Rabbi Eliezer permits, and the Sages prohibit.
