Answer 1

You have a nice collection of plants, so far! You could expand those beds by adding wide curves to the beds rather than straight lines. Then you could add some flowering annuals for color all summer.

If you aren't going to be playing ball in the center, you could add a bird feeding station or a butterfly or wildflower garden. I've included links to landscaping around the patio, adding art in the garden, and more.
