ורבי היכי נטע נטיעה בפורים והתני רב יוסף שמחה ומשתה וי"ט שמחה מלמד שאסורים בהספד משתה מלמד שאסור בתענית ויום טוב מלמד שאסור בעשיית מלאכה אלא רבי בר ארביסר הוה וכי נטע בחמיסר נטע

But how could Rabbi have planted a sapling on Purim? Has not R. Joseph taught: [We read in connection with Purim] rejoicing and feasting and a good day; “Rejoicing”: this teaches that it is forbidden on these days to mourn; “Feasting”: this teaches that it is forbidden on them to fast; “A good day”: this teaches that it is forbidden on them to work. Rather Rabbi was from a place which kept Purim on the fourteenth, and when he planted, it was on the fifteenth.
