And I did that today, tetleytuna. Thanks Dulci and Snapple. Presently it looks like this. I plan to have a 'bog like area' on that top right edge where I've kept a shallow level. I'll keep a canna or some other plant. This evening, my y-DD moved some of the little red fish from the barrel into the pond. I removed the water lily plants and kept it in its new home.

I've a question. The plant of water lily [blue] has grown [4 years] out of its pot and now it has just the roots and the thick 'stem'. Do I need to replant in a pot or can I put it at the bottom using small rocks to hold the plant down? Presently the thing is floating.

I plan to keep a few pots around, but not crowd it because I like to move around it... due to its location. I wanted the wall there, but there are tree roots that could endanger the pond. So I stuck with the original plan.
