In diverticulosis, many balloon-like sacs (diverticula) develop in the large intestine, most commonly in the last part of it (sigmoid colon). Most diverticula vary in diameter from 1/10 inch to more than 1 inch (about Â¼ centimeter to more than 2Â½ centimeters).
Gardeners connect the drip hose to a water source and lay them along a row of tomatoes or wind them in between plants. Water leaks slowly from the hose at a rate of about Â½ gallon a minute per 100 feet of hose. Drip hoses work best when they lay flat.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Core tomatoes and cut a shallow X in bottom of each, then blanch tomatoes in boiling water 10 seconds. Transfer with a slotted spoon to an ice bath to stop cooking. Peel tomatoes using tip of a small paring knife, then halve tomatoes crosswise.
