Until when may a grain-field be ploughed in the sixth year? Until the moisture has dried up in the soil; or as long as men still plough in order to plant cucumbers and gourds. Said R. Simeon [T4]: in this case you are placing the Law in the hands of each man? No; [the prescribed period] in the case of a grain-field is until Passover, and in the case of an orchard, till Pentecost.
