שביעית פרק ב׳ משנה ה׳
Bartenura
סכין את הפגים. פירות שלא נגמר בשולן סכין אותן בשמן כשהן מחוברים לאילן למהר בשולן. ופעמים שמנקבים אותן ומשימים שמן בתוך הנקב אי נמי מנקבים הפגים כדי שיכנסו בהם גשמים ויתבשלו מהרה:
פגי ערב שביעית. פירות שאין מתבשלים עד תשרי של שביעית, אין סכין ואין מנקבין אותן בששית מאחר שאין נגמר בשולן עד שתכנס שביעית, ואפילו במקום שנהגו שלא לסוך אסר תנא קמא. ור׳ יהודה מפליג בין מקום שנהגו לסוך למקום שלא נהגו לסוך, דבמקום שלא נהגו לסוך לא מחזיא סיכה עבודה ושרי:
ר׳ שמעון מתיר באילן. שהוא מלא פירות שביעית לעשות בו מלאכה במוצאי שביעית, מפני שהוא רשאי בעבודת האילן אע״פ שהפירות קדושים בקדושת שביעית. והלכה כתנא קמא:

שביעית פרק ב׳ משנה ו׳
Bartenura
מבריכין (bending a vine by drawing it into the ground and make it grow forth as an independent plant) – bend the vine-shoot of the vine in the ground and covering it with dust.
מרכיבים – bringing a branch of a tree and engrafting it upon another tree that is of its species.
פחות ל' יום – In the Gemara of Tractate Rosh Hashanah [10b] , it proves that these thirty days of [a graft] taking root, according to the first Tanna/teacher and three days, according to Rabbi Yehuda, and two weeks according to Rabbi Yossi and Rabbi Shimon, that we need prior to thirty days of the addition/supplement of the Seventh Year, that we require that the sapling should take root prior to the supplement/addition to the Seventh Year, and all of them hold that the supplement/addition to the Seventh Year is thirty days, therefore, according to the first Tanna/teacher who stated that there is no taking root less than thirty days, it needs thirty days of taking root and thirty [days] of supplement/addition; according to Rabbi Yehuda who stated that taking root is three days, one needs three days of taking root and another thirty of supplement; to the words of Rabbi Yossi and Rabbi Shimon who stated two weeks, one requires two weeks for taking root and thirty for supplement. And the explanation of taking root is that the sapling takes root and its roots take hold in the ground. And the Halakha is according to Rabbi Yossi and Rabbi Shimon.
מבריכין. כופפים זמורת הגפן בארץ ומכסים אותה בעפר:
מרכיבים. מביאים ענף של אילן ומרכיבין אותו על גב אילן אחר שהוא ממינו:
פחות משלשים יום. בגמרא במסכת ראש השנה מוכיח דהנך שלשים יום דקליטה לתנא קמא, ושלשה ימים דרבי יהודה, ושתי שבתות דר׳ יוסי ור׳ שמעון, צריכין קודם שלשים יום דתוספת שביעית, דבעינן שתקלוט הנטיעה קודם תוספת שביעית, וכולהו סבירא להו תוספת שביעית שלשים יום, הלכך לתנא קמא דאמר אין קליטה פחותה משלשים יום צריך שלשים דקליטה ושלשים דתוספת, לר׳ יהודה דאמר בשלשה ימים הוי קליטה צריך שלשה דקליטה ושלשים דתוספת, לדברי רבי יוסי ור׳ שמעון דאמרי שתי שבתות צריך שתי שבתות לקליטה ושלשים לתוספת. ופירוש קליטה שתהא הנטיעה נקלטת ונאחזת בשרשיה בארץ. והלכה כרבי יוסי ור׳ שמעון:

סכין את הפגים (pour oil on unripe figs) – fruit which did not complete their ripening, we pour oil on them when they are attached to the tree to hurry their ripening. But sometimes they perforate them and place oil inside the hole; alternatively, they perforate the unripe figs in order that rain can enter into them and they will ripen more quickly.
פגי ערב שביעית – fruit that do not ripen until Tishrei of the Seventh Year, and we don’t pour oil on them and we don’t perforate them on the Sixth Year from after which their ripening was not completed until the Seventh Year entered, and even in a place where thy had the practice not to pour oil, the first Tanna/teacher forbade it. But Rabbi Yehuda distinguishes between a place where they had the practice to pour oil and a place where they did not have the practice to pour oil, for in a place where they did not have the practice to pour oil, anointing is not seen as work and it is permitted.
ר' שמעון מתיר באילן – which is filled with Seventh Yeaer fruit to perform on work on the aftermath of the Seventh Year, because it is permitted to work on the tree, even though the fruit are sanctified with the holiness of the Seventh Year. But the Halakha is according to the first Tanna/teacher.
