shady bare water logged areas in yard o.O

hi we have some bare areas in our yard that barely get's any sun and floods
we have clay here so it sits and when they put the pool in the right side of the
the drainage got cut of and has stopped working any suggestions
to make use of these areas? and how water logging can be help in general?

love and peace Myles

are you wanting to grow things that require good drainage, such as most food crops, or do you just want something green there? In the latter case you could choose from several plants that actually like shade and moisture. There are even a few that are edible....fuki (Petasites) comes first to mind, and various taro (Colocasia) if you are in a warmer climate......
