19h	comment	How can I weed trim without damaging a fence? Welcome to the site. Your question is certainly on-topic here. I'm not sure what you mean by adding the lawn tag -- you already have it. And if you have a suggestion for the faq, please start a discussion on Gardening & Landscaping Meta.
22h	comment	succulent with rubber plant-like petals, had small yellow flowers when blooming @rob: if you return to this question, please upload some photos and post a link to them so that people will be able to answer it.
23h	comment	Is throwing grass seed without dirt enough? The start of the video also shows Dan, the assistant, in the background raking the section of lawn that they overseed later. This does two things: removes dead grass from the area, and loosens the top of the soil allowing the roots from the new seed to take hold more easily.
2d	comment	Help identifying plum tree Please add the photos; if you have them, photos of the fruits, leaves and flowers, as well as the whole tree. More detail in the descriptions would be useful too, like the size and shape of the leaves ("small" doesn't tell us anything).
May 16	comment	How do I kill a butterfly bush so it stays dead? That seems to have done the trick. Since I applied the brush killer back in February, I found a couple of new shoots on the largest one pictured above (which got a fresh application); the others have no signs of life.
May 7	comment	How do I deal with a pine tree infestation? Welcome to the site! As you've already found out, new users can't post photos directly, but if you upload them to a photo sharing site such as imgur.com, flickr.com etc. and post a link, an established user can edit them into your question for you. Please also see the about page and the faq for a quick overview of how the site works. Again, welcome!
May 2	comment	Fungi on the outside of clay pot Thanks for the photo. I agree it's not a duplicate, but I think the answer there will help you as it looks like lime efflorescence to me -- I frequently see the same thing and I use vinegar to clean it.
May 2	comment	Fungi on the outside of clay pot Please post some photos. Also: related or duplicate? gardening.stackexchange.com/questions/5823/…
May 1	comment	Grapevine leaking water and white mucus Can you post some photographs?
Apr 26	comment	Is there a particular term for 'large bonsai'? Topiary is the general term, and I think you're talking about cloud-pruning.
Apr 23	comment	What is this succulent plant with clumps of small yellow flowers above large leaves? The Wikipedia article also says that the flowers can be "red, purple, orange, yellow and white"
Apr 23	comment	What is this succulent plant with clumps of small yellow flowers above large leaves? It's a Kalanchoe blossfeldiana, commonly just called Kalanchoe. It likes bright light, regular watering and feeding, and it doesn't like cold. For more details, see this other question
Apr 19	comment	What might a UK seed packet labeled “crfincr” contain? A photo of the seedlings too. "very slowly" is vague; how long between planting and germination, and what conditions were they in for that time?
Apr 5	comment	Plant coming up under creeping junipers and in other parts of perennial gardens Do you need help adding a photo? Click 'edit' under the question, then it's the sixth button from the left (it looks like a little picture frame). You can either upload a photo from your computer, or if you've already uploaded it to a photo sharing site like Imgur or Flickr, you can enter a link instead.
Apr 3	comment	How do I flatten my soil to apply gravel? Are you talking about the area where the gravel bed will be? Or do you want to break up the soil that you dug up so that you can spread it out somewhere else? Or something else entirely?
Apr 3	comment	Nepenthes ice watering What is your question?
Apr 2	comment	Help identifying vine in orchid The photo of the vine is washed out, making it hard to see any details that would help in identifying it. Could you take another one and post it instead? Thanks.
Mar 12	comment	Are these baobab or acacia trees? I added your photos with links to the full size versions. You should be able to do it yourself in future.
Mar 12	comment	What was this large yellow-green fruit I ate in Ethiopia? If you don't know already, there is a Stack Exchange site dedicated to cooking, Seasoned Advice. I mentioned this question in their chat room and there was some agreement that it might be Baobab, as @GradyPlayer suggested.
Feb 27	comment	How do I prevent growth of fungus on outer wall of ceramic pots? Could you please post a photo of the pots? It's very likely algae as kevinsky suggests, but a photo will help a lot with identification.
