Isithombe: I-Fresh Mosaic Hops Close-Up

Isithombe sithwebula ingqikithi yesithako sokuphisa esibaluleke kakhulu, i-hop cone, ngendlela ezwakala isondelene futhi ingaphelelwa isikhathi. Ngaphambili, ama-hop kaMose alele ehlangene, amafomu awo agcwele ukuphila okucacile. Ikhoni ngayinye iyisimangaliso esincane sezakhiwo, esibekwe ngezikali zama-bracts aluhlaza athambile asongeka azungeze izindlala ze-lupulin ezifihlekile ngaphakathi. Ukukhanyisa kugqamisa ubukhulu bawo obuthathu, kubambe emaphethelweni e-bract ngayinye futhi kudala umdlalo wokukhanya nesithunzi odonsa umbukeli emibhalweni ecashile. Lawa ma-cone abonakala ecishe abe ebaziwe, njengokungathi aqoshwe ngokunemba, nokho ahlala engokwemvelo ngokuphelele, ehlanganisa ibhalansi yobuthaka nokuqina okuchaza ama-hops esiqongweni sawo. Ukuvevezela kwawo akunaphutha—amafutha amasha, agcwele futhi agcwele iphunga elimnandi abaphisi botshwala abawazisayo ngenxa yekhono labo lokulolonga izinzwa zikabhiya.

Ngemuva kwama-hops, afiphele kancane kodwa abonakale ngokushesha, kumi umphongolo wokuphisa wokhuni. Indlela yayo eyindilinga, eboshwe ngamahophu ensimbi amnyama, yengeza indawo ephikisayo yomhlaba endaweni eluhlaza okotshani ngaphambili. Ubuso bomphongolo, obufudumele ngethoni futhi buthuntubeze kancane, bukhuluma ngesiko, ubudala, nokubekezela okuthulile okufunwa ukwenziwa. Nakuba ama-hops efanekisela ukushesha nobusha—inala yensimu—umgqomo umelela isikhathi, ukuvuthwa, kanye nobuciko obuhlala njalo bokuvutshelwa. Ndawonye, bakha inkhulumomphendvulwano ebonakalayo phakathi kokuqala nokuphela kohambo lokuphisa, phakathi kwesiqongo esidlula ngokushesha sesivuno sezolimo kanye nokulolongwa okude, nokucophelela kukabhiya emikhunjini ebibambe inqwaba yamaqoqo ngaphambili.

Ukujula kwenkundla akujulile, kucija ukubuka kwesibukeli kumakhoni ngokwawo kuyilapho incibilikisa kancane umgqomo kungemuva lokuthungwa nokusikisela. Lokhu kudala umuzwa wokusondelana, njengokungathi isithombe besimema umbukeli ukuthi ancike futhi ahlole ama-hops eduze, ukuze acabange ukuzwa kwawo kwephepha nokunamathela okunenhlaka, ukuchoboza eyodwa kancane futhi akhulule ukuqhuma okunephunga elimnandi kwezithelo ezisawolintshi, uphayini, izithelo zamatshe, namanothi asezindaweni ezishisayo ama-hop kaMose adume ngawo. Ngaleso sikhathi, igebe phakathi kokubona nephunga libonakala lincipha, futhi isithombe sicishe sibe isipiliyoni sokuhogela.

Ukukhanyisa kuyafudumala futhi kuyaqondisa, kugcizelela umehluko wombala ocebile phakathi kwe-emerald vibrancy yama-cones kanye ne-brown ejulile, e-rustic yombhobho. Isakaza izithunzi ezimangalisayo ezithuthukisa umuzwa wokuthungwa nokujula, kuyilapho futhi idala isimo esizwakala sigxilile, esine-rustic, nesobuciko. Lesi akusona isithombe sokukhiqizwa kwezimboni okuyinyumba, kodwa esomsebenzi wezandla—wezandla zomuntu ezisebenza ngezinto zemvelo, eziqondiswa isiko kodwa ezivulekele ubuhlakani obuchaza ukuphisa kwesimanjemanje. Ubuhle obunye bokuhlonipha, ukubeka amahops hhayi nje njengezithako kodwa njengamagugu, ahlonishwa ngeqhaza lawo ekunambithekeni namakha ahlukanisa ubhiya.

Isimo sengqondo sisonke siwukucabangela, cishe ukubungaza, kwenqubo yokuphisa ngokuphelele. Lesi sithombe sisikhumbuza ukuthi ubhiya awusona nje isiphuzo—uwumkhiqizo wezolimo, umlando, nobungcweti. Ama-mosaic hop, ikakhulukazi, afanekisela ukuqanjwa kokuphisa kwesimanje, athandwayo ngekhono lawo lokuletha izendlalelo eziyinkimbinkimbi ezisukela kumakhambi asemhlabeni kuye esithelweni esishisayo sasezindaweni ezishisayo. Nokho lapha, ngendlela yabo eluhlaza nengacutshungulwanga, baphinde basikhumbuze ngemvelaphi ethobekile yawo wonke amaphayinti: isigaxa esikhula phezu komgqomo, esivunwa ngesandla, bese siyiswa endlini yokuphuzela utshwala lapho isiko nobuqambi buthatha khona.

Lona umfanekiso wokugqama olethwe ekuvumelaneni—ukusha okukhanyayo kwama-hops abekwe ngokumelene nokuqina okugugile kokhuni, umzuzu odlulayo wokuvuna eduze nomugqa wesikhathi oqhubekayo wokwenza utshwala. Kokubili kuwukubungaza imvelo nokuvuma ngekhanda okuthulile kwesineke sezingcweti ezikwaziyo ukunxenxa amandla aluhlaza emvelo abe into ehlala njalo nekhumbulekayo. Ngokugxila kakhulu kuma-hops kodwa uwafake ngaphakathi komongo womgqomo, isithombe sixoxa indaba ephelele: ukusuka ensimini kuye kokuvubela, ukusuka ekudlidlizeni okuluhlaza kuya engilazini esagolide, ukwenza utshwala kuwumdanso phakathi kokusha nesikhathi, ukushesha nokukhuthazela, umhlaba nobuciko.
