   We had to cut down a tree because it was dying. Now there is a big stump in the middle of the yard. I don't have time to pull it out. How can I make it look decent?

   My husband has grown green ivy around ours. It kind of decorates it .

   Depends how high it is - we put a bird table on one of ours that was about 5 ft high, that way the birds could still enjoy it.
   Or maybe it's chair or table height? You could put a seat or table top on top of it and use it as a piece of garden furniture.

      Our front yard is a hill, so it is not really practical for a table. It is too short for a bird house. Keep the ideas coming!

   Plants flowers (preferably a climbing plant) around it and put something decorative on!

      I think flowers are good. What kind of flowers or climbing plant. I need plants that grow back each year because I am about to start clinical for a radiology program and I won't have time to plant next spring.

      Green ivy is really low maintenance, once it gets going.

      Morning glories (lol) - beautiful, but they take over. Where are you located, i.e. what kind of climate do you live in? Look for a local, native vine-type that doesn't need any maintenance.
