Boggy Patch

Can anybody give me suggestions on how to deal with a wet part of my allotment please?
The water comes from a retaining wall and seems to soak down from the hillside, it is almost like a small stream but soon dries up when the rain stops. I don't know whether to dig deep and put drain pipes in or make a pond or even grow plants that like wet ground.
It is about 10'x8' and does not affect the rest of the garden.
Any ideas would be very welcome.
Thanks
Rosemary

Grow watercress & salad stuff - they'll like it.

Thankyou Jennym and Wardy.
I have a lot to do and think about, but I am weighing up all the options and any ideas will be put in the pot at the end of the day and lets see what comes out of it. I will let you know of any progress.
We have lots of toads on our site and they are just beginning to hibernate. I love them but it can be nerve racking when you are just about to put your fork down hard and the little beggars move.  :o 
Thanks again
Rosemary
