Go for it now, Marge.  Did you see the suggestion (don't remember what list
it was on) that you buy a child's wading pool (preferably at a garage sale,
but they're not very expensive new), bury it up to the rim, poke a few
holes in the bottom so it will leak, then fill it with the earth you
removed to bury it.  Wet it thoroughly with the hose, and you have a bog
garden that isn't a water hog. I know, easier said than done.  ;-)))
