Q: To help the lime tree grow as large and healthy as possible, you'll need to prune it regularly. Aim for a pruning schedule of once per year or once every 2 years. Inspect your tree in the spring to determine if it has dead, diseased, crossed, or tangled branches. If so, plan to prune the tree that year and if not, you can wait until the following year. If you live in a warm climate, you should prune the lime tree after harvesting the fruit for the season. The flowers that will produce limes for the next season will be visible, allowing you to easily decide which areas to prune. If you live in a cold climate, you should wait until the risk of frost has passed to prune the lime tree. Do an online search to find the average frost dates for your location, and wait until after this date to prune the tree so new growth isn't damaged by frost. If your lime tree has frost damage, wait until it has new growth to prune it. If you're pruning the tree right after a harvest, make sure no limes remain on the tree. Carefully pick off any remaining fruit so you can clearly see and access the branches for pruning.
A: Prune lime trees every year or 2 years depending on branch health. Aim to prune the tree in late winter if you live in a frost-free zone. Wait until late spring to prune the tree if you live in a frost-prone zone. Remove any remaining fruit prior to pruning.

Article: Once you have friends, you should take steps to maintain your friendships. Gaining good friends is difficult and you do not want to have to start at square one if you start losing friends over time. You should always make an effort to spend quality time with your friends, doing things you both enjoy. This way, you and your friends have fun and you also build memories and share experiences together. For example, if you know your friend is a big fan of a certain comic book character, you may get her a pass to see the creator of the character at next year's Comic-Con. Or, you may treat your friend to a night out at their favorite restaurant. Doing nice things for your friends and making your time together meaningful will show them how much you value their friendship. Don't get into the habit of waiting to be invited to do things with your friends. Invite your friends to do something fun. Sometimes people become complacent and wait around for an invitation when instead they should take the initiative to plan and invite their friends to something. Try asking your friend something like, "Are you around on Friday night? Do you want to see a movie or go to the football game?" Or you can ask, "Do you want to get together sometime this weekend? I would love to see you!" You can also be a good friend by supporting and cheering on your friends when they need you. You should make an effort to keep up with what your friends are interested in and their goals. Supporting your friend's goals and aspirations will show them that you can be there for them and are on their side. You may have friends who play sports and attend their games to show your support. Or you may have friends who do the performing arts and attend their performances so they have a familiar, friendly face in the crowd. A good friend will also be honest. You should try to be okay with constructive criticism and feedback from your friends, especially if they have your best interests at heart. You should be willing, to be honest with your friends and accept that sometimes they may be honest with you. You should feel comfortable talking to your friends about issues or problems in your life, and they should also confide in you. You should look to your friends for advice and support and feel you can also give them advice when needed. An important part of having friends is maintaining contact with them. If you haven't seen your friend in about a week or so, or you've been spending time with other friends, drop them a quick text or call to ask how they're doing. You can say something like, "Hey! How'd your test go the other day?" or "Hey! I miss you! Let's grab coffee this week?" If you move away from your friends (or a friend moves away from you), set up a weekly or monthly phone call with that person. Try to make a plan to go visit your friend for the weekend.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Spend quality time with your friends. Support and cheer on your friends. Be honest with your friends. Maintain contact with your friends.

Q: that you have. In order to make an informed decision you first need to think about the different options you have. Know that people who chose an abortion versus another type of option, fare about the same in general in terms of psychological outcome. Write down or think about your options. For example, you can choose to: parent, put the child up for adoption (open or closed), sign over guardianship to a family member or someone close to you, or you can terminate your pregnancy. Weigh your situation with these options. Write down the pros and cons of each, including practical issues and your own emotions. Some people cannot stand the idea of abortion, some are ambivalent, and others believe it is a human right. You may be anywhere along the spectrum. It is also important to consider your own feelings towards being a parent. Your thoughts and feelings are important. Do you have strong religious views about abortion? How do you feel about other people who have abortions? Do you feel ready to be a parent? If you keep the pregnancy, would you want to be able to see the baby? Would you be okay with people knowing, and potentially judging you, if you aborted the pregnancy? Envision different futures for yourself: one in which you keep the pregnancy and the baby, one in which you carry the pregnancy and then put the baby up for adoption, one in which you terminate the pregnancy, et cetera. Can you afford to have a child? What would be your future, and your family's future, if you had a child? Are you willing to tell a parent or go before a judge if your state requires it? Can you psychologically handle an abortion? Could you handle it with extra support? Can you psychologically handle being pregnant? Support will help you weigh your options and prepare for whatever choice you want. Support helps you feel more confident in your ability to deal with the situation. Whether it's a parent, a friend, a mentor, a clergy member, or a counselor, you need someone to be able to turn to for comfort and support. Get support from your partner, if you have one. Get support from parents if possible. You do not need to people who aren't supportive. Individuals who try to get support from people who are not supportive have more psychological distress. (If you are 18 or over, you are not obligated to tell anyone.) Find support elsewhere if you do not get it from your partner or parents. Try talking to friends or siblings. If you found out you are pregnant by using an at-home pregnancy test, you may want to confirm you are pregnant by seeing a doctor. If you haven't decided on whether or not you want to terminate the pregnancy, you can learn more information to help you make your decision. Ask a lot of questions at your initial appointment. Every Planned Parenthood has staff members trained to discuss your concerns. People who have an easier time making the decision, who are content with the choice, and who terminate unwanted pregnancies, show an easier time dealing with the abortion process. Take time to think about it. A hasty decision may be one you regret. Take time to weigh the options and settle on what you think is best. Abortion is a largely safe procedure, with only about 1% of people experiencing complications. Most people do not experience significant psychological consequences following an abortion, but a few do. The risk of psychological harm increases when there are other stressors or mental health issues that exist. Know your mental health history. If you have a history of emotional problems, you may have a harder time dealing with an unwanted pregnancy or abortion. Identify other stressors in your life. If you have low financial ability, you may have a more difficult time dealing with the effects of an abortion. Understand your support network. If you have experienced domestic or partner violence, or do not have an adequate support system, you also may have a more difficult time. Personality characteristics can also influence the psychological outcome of an abortion. Individuals who do not have healthy ways of coping may experience more distress.
A:
Analyze the choices Consider your personal beliefs and emotions. Consider practical issues. Talk to someone whom you trust. Speak with a medical doctor. Understand the effects of the decision. Be aware of your risk factors.
