Vegetables okay, or just fruit? I've got a strawberry bed on the way out and am going to plant some green beans in it. I planted bush beans late July last year and got a decent late summer crop from it.

In this bed I plan to plant some pole beans instead of bush, and get them in the ground earlier. Trellised they won't get much in the way of any later strawberries. I find pole beans a lot easier to pick and output spread or over time. I mainly use for fresh eating not canning so that works better for me.

You could probably do a late planting of summer squash too but it would totally cover the berries in the bed and not allow easy access to pick like pole beans.

Not quite sure if you mean you'll be ripping out the strawberry plants after they fruit, or what? I'm same zone -- I had a small strawberry bed that was dwindling and decided to clear it out last year. I used it for planting my garlic last autumn, but I put it on the ends so that I can plant something larger in the center portion this season. Whatever I plant will have more room once I dig the garlic in early July.

Oops - yes, I should have specified I'm ripping out the plants after the strawberries are done fruiting. I'm not looking necessarily for fruit again after them. Vegetables are good too. I just didn't have a good idea of what I could plant, since there will still be time in the growing season. Thank you.
