Mesorat%20hashas for Sheviit 2:1

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 <i>Shavuot</i> [festival at the end of the grain harvest].
