הנטיעות והדלועים מצטרפין לבית סאה. בדלעת יונית דוקא איירי במתניתין שהיא גדולה כאילן ולא בשאר דלועין. וצריך שיהיו הנטיעות רבות על הדלועים כגון שהיו הנטיעות ששה והדלועים ארבעה מצטרפין לעשרה וחורשין כל בית סאה בשבילן:
רשב״ג אומר. אפילו היו כל העשרה דלועין חורשין כל בית סאה בשבילן, לפי שהן כנטיעות. והלכה כרבן שמעון בן גמליאל:

After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah.

הנטיעות והדלועים מצטרפין לבית סאה – with a Greek gourd, exactly is what our Mishnah is speaking which is large like a tree, but not with the rest of the gourds, and it is necessary that the young trees will be greater in number than the gourds as for example, when there are six young trees and four gourds, they combine to make ten and they plow the entire Bet Seah for their sake.
רשב"ג אומר – even if all of the ten were gourds, they plow the entire Bet Seah for their sake, because they are like young trees. And the Halakha is according to Rabban Shimon ben Gamaliel.
