Hello, I'm doing a live band performance in 5 hours. I've done zero planning due to being preoccupied with my full-time job. Now I'm freaking out as I have no idea what I'm going to do. Any and all advice is appreciated!
In NY, trying to liven up yard space. The right side gets little sun, so hoping to plant rhodedendron. Thinking a cherry blossom tree in the middle of the yard, and I plan to build a big planter on the right for herbs. The black represents area I want to put pavers.
Accepting any and all advice! Is a tree right in the middle weird? Would also love plant suggestions!

Water was entering my basement apartment. The issue has been fixed, but the bedroom wall (and adjoining brick wall) took some damage.
After cutting out damaged drywall, I've ran a dehumidifier for the past two weeks and have to empty it everyday! Is this a sign the issue isn't actually fixed, or will it take more time than I thought to air it out?
Removed most of the drywall except this strip stick deep between wall and stud

Since I bought a house/rental property last year, my youngest brother (Z) calls once every 2-3 weeks to ask to borrow money. I often oblige, but also let him know I really don't have it like that. And sometimes - like when he asks for money to go the bar with friends - I straight up say no. He still calls however, and does eventually pay me back. He's 21, sweet kid but reckless and figuring at all out as we all did.
Z called me last night and I ignored it. I was having a bad day, strapped for cash and didn't want to deal with him requesting money. It turns out he was dealing with chaos from a friend group we've all told him to stay away from, and was seeking safety from a local gang looking to jump him (over the kind of drama you'd expect from high schoolers, not grown adults)
I feel bad for not answering his call now realizing he was likely seeking safety from his big sister amid a crazy night, but it also feels like it's a boy who cried wolf kind of situation? And now he won't talk to me.
I ignored my brother's call in his time of need and our relationship is now different. Aita?
I want to liven up this yard for my tenants!
EDIT:
The water intrusion was remediated 2 weeks ago. Water is no longer entering this area.
The damage from this water has impacted 3 ft by 8 ft of drywall, and left the adjoining brick wall with yellow efflorescence
After cutting through the drywall (intending to replace it) I observed some black mold (see pictures)
What is the best way to proceed? Can I DIY this or do I need to hire a professional?
