Isithombe: Isivuno se-Chinook Hop

Lapho sekuhwalala ntambama, inkundla ye-hop ilula njengendwangu ephilayo elukwe ngokuluhlaza nangegolide. I-Chinook hop vines ikhuphukela esibhakabhakeni ihambisana nama-trellises amade, ukuqhakaza kwawo okumise okwe-cone kulenga kanzima ngenxa yokuvuthwa. Umvini ngamunye uwubufakazi bezinyanga zokunakekelwa ngokucophelela, futhi manje, njengoba inkathi yokuvuna ifinyelela umvuthwandaba wawo, insimu iyahlokoma ngenjongo enokuthula. Ukukhanya kwelanga kuhlunga nge-latticework yama-trellises, kusakaza izithunzi eziyinkimbinkimbi ezidansa enhlabathini nasemagqabeni, okudala ukusebenzisana okunamandla kokukhanya nokuthungwa. Umoya ugcwele iphunga lama-hops—elibukhali, elikhipha inhlaka futhi lixutshwe nezithelo ezisawolintshi—iphunga elimnandi elikhuluma ngesithembiso sobhiya abasazokwenziwa.

Ngaphambili, izisebenzi ezimbili zasemapulazini zinyakaza kalula nje, izandla zazo zizulazula ngamahlamvu aminyene ukuze zikhiphe ama-cones anephunga elimnandi kumabhayini. Izingubo zabo zilula futhi ziyasebenza, zifanele umsebenzi onzima owenziwayo, futhi indlela abakhuluma ngayo ibonisa inhlanganisela yokugxila nokujwayelana nayo. Lesi akusona isivuno sabo sokuqala, futhi ngeke kube okokugcina. Ikhoni ngayinye abayiqoqayo ihlolwa ngokucophelela, usayizi wayo, umbala, nokuqukethwe kwe-lupulin kuhlolwa buthule ngaphambi kokwengezwa eqoqweni elikhulayo. Isenzo sokuvuna singokomzimba futhi sinembile, ingxoxo ethintekayo phakathi komlimi nesitshalo eye yacwengwa izizukulwane ngezizukulwane.

Ngalé kwawo, insimu ivuleka ngemigqa ehlelekile, ama-trellise amile njengabalindi ngendlela ehlelekile. Imivini iyasonteka futhi ibambelele ezisekelweni zayo, ifinyelela esibhakabhakeni ngokubonisa ukuzimisela kwezitshalo. I-symmetry yemigqa iphulwa kuphela ijika lezwe ngezikhathi ezithile, eligingqika kancane libheke esibayeni esikude. Njengoba isimo sezulu sinesimo sezulu esishisayo, inqolobane igxilisa indawo yesehlakalo ngentelezi yaso, amapulangwe ayo afiphala ngenxa yesikhathi nelanga. Ima njengobufakazi obuthulile besigqi sepulazi, indawo lapho kugcinwa khona amathuluzi, izindaba zihlanganyela, futhi izithelo zomsebenzi zikalwa futhi zihlungwe.

Ukukhanya okusesithombeni kuyafudumala futhi kugubuzele, kuveza umbala osagolide othambisa imiphetho yesehlakalo futhi usigcwalise ngomqondo wokungaphelelwa yisikhathi. Iwuhlobo lokukhanya okwenza yonke into icace kakhudlwana—uhlaza lwama-hops, insundu yesibaya, okubomvu okucashile namawolintshi enhlabathini. Lokhu kukhanya kwekwindla kuthuthukisa umoya wenhlonipho nokukhuthala, kugcizelela ukubaluleka kwalesi sikhathi ekhalendeni lezolimo. Ukutshalwa kwe-hop akusona nje isinyathelo sokukhiqiza ubhiya; kuwumsebenzi wezandla ngokwawo, odinga ulwazi, isineke, nenhlonipho ejulile ngemijikelezo yemvelo.

Ndawonye, izakhi zalesi sithombe—izivini eziluhlaza, izandla ezinekhono, ama-trellises ama-towering, kanye nengemuva elingemuva—zakha i-ode ebonakalayo kubuciko bokulima kwe-hop. Ayithathi nje kuphela izinsimbi zokuvuna, kodwa umoya womzamo: inhlanganisela evumelanayo yesiko, umsebenzi, kanye nokulindela. Ikhoni ye-hop ngayinye eqoqwe lapha iphethe ngaphakathi kwayo amandla okubumba ukunambitheka kotshwala obuzayo, futhi kule nkambu ethule, ekhanyiswe ilanga, lelo khono lihlonishwa ngakho konke ukuthinta ngokucophelela.
