Reverse Gardening :(

Gotta remove a ~30ft maple tree today. Carpenter ants have taken it over. And it's half hanging in my neighbors yard. He's worried that a branch will break off an fall on his granddaughter while she's out playing. (I'd be laughing if it didn't actually happen in my state in the last year... neglected city tree had a branch fall and kill a like 8yo girl).

Anyway, it's surrounded by a garden. We might just put some bushes around the stump (not paying another $250 to have it grinded). Or, i can turn that into my veggie garden... even though my wife JUST planted all her new flowers in the last few months

She also has a good number of pictures in her photobucket account of the house, so i can just raid it for pix of things i'm looking for.
Base of the tree and the surrounding garden
