Ingadi ye-hop ethule idlula ohlakeni olubanzi, olubheke indawo, oluthathwe ngesikhathi sehora legolide lapho ilanga liphansi futhi liguqula wonke umkhawulo wamaqabunga abe yi-contour efudumele nekhanyayo. Ingaphambili libuswa ukusondelana okuseduze kwama-hop cone alenga ebhanini, ama-bracts awo anezingqimba ekhuluphele futhi anjengephepha, ashintsha kusuka kuluhlaza okotshani okusha kuya kumachashazi aphuzi njengotshani abonisa ukuvuthwa. Ama-beads amazolo anamathela kuma-cone nasemaqabungeni aseduze, ebamba ukukhanya kwelanga okugobile futhi akhazimula njengamalensi amancane. Amaqabunga abanzi futhi aqinile, anemithambo ecacile efundeka kahle ekukhanyeni okukhazimulayo; ezinye izindawo ziyakhanya lapho umswakama uhlangana khona, kanti ezinye ziwela emthunzini othambile, zigcizelela ukuthungwa nokujula.
Ngemuva kwalokhu kugxila okukhulu, lesi senzakalo sivuleka emigqeni ehlelekile yezitshalo ze-hop ezinamandla eziqeqeshwe ohlelweni lwe-trellis. Izigxobo eziqinile nezintambo ezicindezelwe zakha i-geometry ephindaphindayo eqondisa iso kude. Ama-bine akhuphuka ngamakhethini aminyene aluhlaza, agcwele amaqoqo e-cone adala iphethini encane, enamabala ngokukhula okuqondile. Indawo ephakathi izwakala iwusizo futhi ilukhuni: inhlabathi ephakathi kwemigqa imnyama, icebile, futhi ixubene kancane, sengathi isanda kwenziwa. Ama-hop cone ahlakazekile alele phansi ezindaweni ezincane, ezibukeka njengezemvelo, ezibonisa inqubo yokuvuna eqhubekayo noma yokuhlunga. Imibala yawo eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka-ophuzi ekhanyayo iphinda ama-cone angaphambili futhi iqinisa indaba yokwenziwa kwebhiya—izinto zokusetshenziswa ezinukayo eziqoqwe ngqo ensimini.
Ukukhanya kuyinjini yemizwa yesithombe. Ukukhanya kwelanga okufudumele kudlula phakathi kwamaqabunga nemigqa ye-trellis, kuphonsa izithunzi ezinde nezithambile ezigubuzela inhlabathi futhi zidale amaphuzu avelele amaqabunga. Umehluko uthambile kunokuba ube lukhuni, ugcina isimo sengqondo esizolile nesicabangayo ngenkathi usaveza imininingwane emihle yezitshalo. Ngemuva, ingadi iyancibilika ibe umkhathi oqondile: umugqa omncane wezihlahla ubonakala njengezithombe ezithule, futhi ngaphesheya kwawo ukushona kwelanga okukhanyayo kuhlanza isibhakabhaka ngemibala ye-amber, uju, kanye ne-peach ebuthakathaka. Ilanga ngokwalo lihlala eduze komkhathi, likhanya kodwa alinamandla amakhulu, likhiqiza ubumnyama obuncane bomkhathi obunezela ukujula kanye nomuzwa wokuthula kwasemini.
Sekukonke, ukwakheka kulinganisela ukunemba nokuthula. Amakhoni angaphambili aqinile—abonisa izinhlobo ezahlukene zephunga elimnandi ezivame ukukhethwa esikhundleni seSummit—aqinisa isithombe ngeqiniso elithintekayo, kuyilapho imigqa ehlehlayo nesibhakabhaka esifudumele kunikeza umongo wokulandisa: ukulima, ukuvuna, kanye nobuhle obuthule bezithako ngaphambi kokuba zibe ubhiya. Isithombe sizwakala sigxile futhi siqotho, sigubha ukuxhumana kobuciko phakathi kwensimu nendlu yokuphuza utshwala ngokukhanya kwemvelo, ukwakheka kwezitshalo okuyinkimbinkimbi, kanye nesimo sasemakhaya esinokuthula.
