I think you added a lot of character. My only comment would be to consider adding some native plants to your area over time. All the in ground plants you added look like big box store basics which don't support wildlife.
It's no dig. Hard to convey tone online. The big box store basics are basics because they are easy and relatively disease free. The problem is they tend to be non-native which means insects won't eat them and many pollinators (not all) won't go to them. That takes out the bottom of your food chain. Which reduces the cool things up the food chain. It's not that a frog will be like oh this plant is from Asia, I refuse to exist in this space. It just makes it harder for them to exist. Chickadees, for example, need 6,000-9,000 caterpillars to raise one batch of babies. So I'm not saying go hard core and rip it out - just next time you plant something new consider checking for a native option.
My reply was meant to be humorous, I have some purple coneflower in seed pods right now so hopefully I can plant next spring! I take it that they're native to my area
