backyard driving me nuts

Hello! So, I have done what I can to improve my back yard, tilling and adding flower beds, making a stone patio out of some river rocks, but I have a very large, rectangular area that I have no clue what to do with. This is a rental, but Im planning on being here for a few years at minimum. With that being said, I dont want to spend a fortune, but Im willing to spend $300-$400 and put in a lot of work. Also, I live at an extremely high altitude (8500ft /Zones 3&4) in the Rocky Mountains, so my yard needs perennials that can withstand very cold, wet winters, and hot, dry, windy summers. So far Ive
had good luck with my veggies, sunflowers, and stonecrop. Succulents are
also doing well. My lavender doesnt seem completely happy but its not
dead either. I just dont know where to go from here. I feel like the space has potential but not sure what to do. Help!

(as you can see Im not 100% done here, but close!)
