Default veggies that don't mind having wet feet

zone 5 USA.

i'll have an area next year that could
be planted, but i'm not sure what would
do well there.

full sun. soil will be 6-8 inches of
decent sandy loam, on top of a layer of
sand, a layer of gravel and then there
will be clay.

this area is likely to be flooded at
times (but not over the top) so that the
roots will likely be damp to wet for a
longer spells than many garden plants
might be liking.

the garden is about 15ft long and
roughly triangular with the widest
part being about 3ft across tapering
down to 1.5ft.

which veggies might do well?

i am expanding production of strawberries
so i will have plenty of extra plants in the
summer. so that is one consideration for
sure.

any other ideas?

eventually i'll be filling it in more,
but that is unlikely to happen for a few
years yet.


thanks.
