Default What can I plant this late in zone 4?

Between the (former) rabbit that ate all my okra, 2 tomatoes, and a
nibbled my pepper plants last week, and the douchebag lawn service that
sprayed 2,4-d thru the chain link fence into my garden*, I have a lot of
bare ground right now. Is there anything I can plant this late? Maybe
zucchini or hybrid cucumbers? Bush green beans? Or some kind of fall
crop like kohlrabi?

*Not the same company that did this 2 years ago. This one (Diamond Lawn
Care, Inc) did a lot more damage. It couldn't have just been drift,
they'd have to active spray though the fence to reach as far as they
did. I reported them to the MN Dept of Agriculture for pesticide
misuse, and an agent came out the next day and took soil and vegetation
samples. Still waiting for the lab results.
