An EGD may be performed therapeutically to control bleeding, remove tumors or polyps (growths), dilate narrowed areas in the upper GI tract (for example, esophagus), remove foreign objects, perform laser therapy, and place a percutaneous gastrostomy tube (a tube used for tube feeding into the stomach).
Navel oranges ripen in the winter and into the spring and early summer, while Valencia oranges begin ripening in the spring and are harvested through the summer. Mandarin Mandarins are more tolerant of cooler temperatures than are many varieties of sweet orange, and they require only moderate heat to ripen well, making them, along with lemons and limes, well suited to northern climates and cool coastal locales.
Harvesting. Carrots are usually harvested when the roots are Â¾ inches in diameter at the upper end, but you can harvest them any time they reach a usable size. To harvest, push the root to the side and pull it out of the ground.
