Isithombe: Ukuvuna ngesandla okuthambile kwama-honeyberries avuthiwe

Isigcawu sengadi yezithelo esikhanyiswe yilanga sithwebula indlela enembile, emnene yokuvuna amajikijolo avuthiwe ngesandla (owaziwa nangokuthi i-haskap, i-Lonicera caerulea) ekuvuthweni okuphezulu. Ukwakheka kugxile ezandleni ezimbili ezisebenza ngokuzwana: isandla esisekelayo sithwala igatsha elithelayo eliguqukayo phakathi kwesithupha nomunwe wenkomba, siwuqinise ngaphandle kokuwucindezela, kuyilapho isandla esikhayo sikha ijikijolo elilodwa eliluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka sisebenzisa ukunyakaza okulula kokuncinza nokugoqa. Isenzo siyacophelela futhi siyajwayela—ingcindezi incane, futhi amajikijolo akhululeka kunokuba adonswe. Lokhu kuvimbela ukudabula isikhumba esincane, kugwema ukulimaza ukuqhakaza, futhi kugcina izithelo ezingavuthiwe eziseduze zingaphazanyiswa.

Amajikijolo abonisa isici sohlobo lomumo obude, oyi-oblong kancane, ane-bloom eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka e-dusky ewanikeza isiphetho se-velvety, matte. Ukushwabana okucashile esikhumbeni—uphawu lokuvuthwa ngokugcwele—kuqhathaniswa namajikijolo aqinile, abushelelezi aseduze naso. Amaqoqo ayahlukahluka ngombala ukusuka ku-indigo ejulile ukuya kokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ngokukhanyayo, okubonisa ingxube yezigaba zokuvuthwa kumoba ofanayo. Lokhu kwehlukahlukana kuqondisa iso lesikhethi ukuthi likhethe kuphela amajikijolo ahlukana ngokukhululeka, okushiya amanye ukuthi avuthwe ngokwemvelo.

Amahlamvu azungezile aluhlaza futhi anezingqimba eziminyene: amaqabunga ayi-ovate anamathiphu acijile kanye nomthambo ophakathi nendawo ogqame ngamabili eduze kwamagatsha azacile, ansundu ngokukhanyayo. Ama-trichome amahle endaweni yeqabunga abamba ukukhanya okufiphele, enze ukucwazimula okuthambile. Ukuhlangana kwamanodi—lapho kuhlangana khona amaqabunga nama-pedicels ezithelo—kubonisa ukukhohlakala okubomvu okufiphele, okwengeza ukufudumala kuphalethi. Ukujula kwenkundla okungajulile kuhlukanisa izandla nesithelo, kwenze ingemuva libe ukufiphala okuthungwe okuluhlaza nokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, okuphakamisa isihlahla esichichimayo, esichumayo ngale kwendiza egxilile.

Ukukhanyisa kuthambile futhi kungokwemvelo, kuhlungwe nge-canopy ukuze kugwenywe okuvelele okunzima. Amabala elanga enza iphethini yesikhumba, amaqabunga, nezithelo, agcizelela ukuthungwa kwendawo: ukuqhakaza kwejikijolo, ukucwebezela okuncane kwezicubu zamaqabunga anempilo, kanye namakhinqi namabala acashile ezandleni. Ukuhluka kombala kucebile kodwa kuyalinganisela—i-emerald nemifino yomnqumo yenza amathoni e-cobalt amajikijolo ajulile, kuyilapho amanothi esikhumba afudumele aqinisa ukusondelana kwemvelo kwamanje.

I-Technique ingumlingiswa othule wesithombe. Isandla esiqinile sivimbela igatsha ukuba lingaphindiseli emuva—okuyimbangela evamile yokuwa kwezithelo nemiqumbe eyonakele—kuyilapho isandla esikhayo sivimba izinzipho phezu kweberry ukuze lilondoloze ukuqhakaza. Ukunyakaza kuncane futhi kuyalawulwa: ukusonteka okuncane noma ukuphakamisa kancane ukusuka ku-pedicel kunokudonsela ngaphandle ngokuqondile. Amajikijolo avuthwe ngempela ahlukana kalula; labo abamelana nabo basala endaweni. Le ndlela inciphisa ukulahlekelwa, igcina impilo yezitshalo, futhi ivikela i-fruiting spurs yonyaka ozayo.

Imininingwane ecashile yengeza ukulandisa: izinsalela ezimbalwa ze-calyx zibambelela eduze kwama-pedicel, kanye namaqabunga amancane ahlabayo amacebo emvula yakamuva noma amazolo asekuseni. Ukuguquguquka kwegatsha kudlulisa amandla e-shrub, namaqoqo amaningi ezithelo angafinyeleleka. Isimo sisikisela ukuvuna okucatshangelwayo—mhlawumbe usuku lokuqala losuku—lapho umgomo kuyikhwalithi phezu kwejubane. Isithombe sinikeza umuzwa othintekayo womsebenzi: ukushelela okupholile kokuqhakaza kwejikijolo, ukupha okuthambile kwenyama evuthiwe, isiphethu somoba ophilayo ophethwe ngobumnene kodwa ngokuvikelekile.

Sekukonke, isithombe sishada ukunemba kwe-horticultural nokunakekelwa komuntu. Ifundisa ngokubonisa: sekela igatsha, khetha ngokuthinta kancane, khetha amajikijolo aphuma kalula, futhi ulondoloze ukuqhakaza ukuze kubonakale kuhlanzekile, okulungele imakethe. Kuyisifundo esithulile sobuciko—indlela ukunyakaza okuncane, isikhathi esihle, nokuhlonipha isitshalo okusiguqula kanjani isenzo esilula sokuvuna sibe umkhuba owenziwayo, ocishe ube ngumkhosi.
