Waterlogged

No matter how much organic stuff I dig into the borders the solid clay not too far down stops any proper drainage ;-(

Could you add grit maybe to help the water drain away ?

I feel a bit mean saying I like this photo but having a front garden of heavy clay that has defied all my efforts to improve drainage, I know exactly your problem. I will be trying more grit in the spring, when it dries out enough to handle!

I usually do the same as Hywel and Gee, adding grit for drainage.
They do this on the Gardeners' World TV show.
