Hijacking in progress 
And it is @Nyboy s fault LOL
We do have some goldfish and koi, water lilies (not coming back so good this year) this is an old photo and cat tails which are spreading! And sadly the chickens dug up all my columbine
I think DH owes me a few new starts for that!

Carol Dee, that's just lovely!!! I love little ponds like that, especially with the tiny waterfall feature. I've always wanted one but never got to the place of ever being able to have one.

A pile of stones, a wheelbarrow stopped in the tipping of more stones just over the pile into a basin of koi and water plants, water pouring through the stones and over the lip of the wheelbarrow into the basin ...
Here are some ideas for using a wheelbarrow for a planter. LINK

I need to get my camera out, BUT, I have opinions and comments about wheelbarrows, anyway! 
I have gone through several wheelbarrows. The last one that I replaced had a plastic "barrow" and I won't buy another! I replaced the barrow with a metal one,but I still have to put it back together again...like I have the copious free time to do so!!!
When my MIL passed on I took her little, metal and shallow wheelbarrow with the hard tire. I gave it new life with leftover brown metal paint and silver spray paint. It is now my wagon that keeps my receiprocating saw and extra blades AND the extension cords. You shouldn't carry ANYTHING that you don't have to. My big 2 wheeler is for mass quantities, such as cleaning stalls and moving pulled weeds.
I love, love, love my tow wagon. When I have a BIG stall or chicken run cleanup I use that. Since I have to get through a 34" door either way, I have to put a muck bucket inside of a smaller wheelbarrow, fill that, and then pick up from the wheelbarrow and empty it into my tow wagon, which takes about 9 fills of that before I dump it. It has, of course, a dump/ramp feature and I sometimes drive my tiller or push mower up into the tow wagon and drive it with my riding mower to where the job is. I have 5 acres and the tiller runs on permanent slow speed, so my method is more convenient.
I try really hard to "put my toys away" and out of the weather bc that is how you lose them, to rust and rot.
The inventor of the wheelbarrow, back somewhere in history, was a genius!
