Mishnah 1א׳

עַד אֵימָתַי חוֹרְשִׁין בִּשְׂדֵה הַלָּבָן עֶרֶב שְׁבִיעִית. עַד שֶׁתִּכְלֶה הַלֵּחָה, כָּל זְמַן שֶׁבְּנֵי אָדָם חוֹרְשִׁים לִטַּע בַּמִּקְשָׁאוֹת וּבַמִּדְלָעוֹת. אָמַר רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן, נָתַתָּ תּוֹרַת כָּל אֶחָד וְאֶחָד בְּיָדוֹ, אֶלָּא בִּשְׂדֵה הַלָּבָן עַד הַפֶּסַח, וּבִשְׂדֵה הָאִילָן עַד עֲצֶרֶת:

Until when do we plow a treeless field in the pre-Sabbatical year? Until the moisture is gone, [that is,] while people are still plowing for planting cucumbers and gourds. Rabbi Shimon said: You have entitled each person to make his own ruling! Rather, in a vegetable field until Passover, and in an orchard until Shavuot.

Mishnah 2ב׳

מְזַבְּלִין וּמְעַדְּרִין בַּמִּקְשָׁאוֹת וּבַמִּדְלָעוֹת עַד רֹאשׁ הַשָּׁנָה. וְכֵן בְּבֵית הַשְּׁלָחִין. מְיַבְּלִין, מְפָרְקִין, מְאַבְּקִין, מְעַשְּׁנִין, עַד רֹאשׁ הַשָּׁנָה. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, אַף נוֹטֵל הוּא אֶת הֶעָלֶה מִן הָאֶשְׁכּוֹל בַּשְּׁבִיעִית:

One may fertilize and aerate cucumbers and gourds up until Rosh Hashanah. And [one may do] similarly in an irrigated field. One may remove wounds [from trees], remove withered leaves, apply nutrient powder, and fumigate plants until Rosh Hashanah. Rabbi Shimon says that one may additionally remove certain leaves from grape clusters during the seventh year.
