Look for recommendations.

We have 3 raised beds, get good sun and heat. Each bed is 2ft x 4ft and about 1.5ft deep

We grow tomato plants in two stand alone bug pots.


I've grown Kale, Lettuce, but am looking for other ideas.
As others have mentioned, any squash plants do incredibly well in raised garden beds, although they tend to take over the whole area. I absolutely love them though. If you like spicy chili's, those also do great with full sun. I've also had success with cucumbers, onions started from seed, celery (surprisingly), potatoes and most leafy greens.

If you're looking for something a little different and don't mind climbers and pretty dense greens, I highly recommend beans. I grow runner beans every year, they climb lattice or whatever you put around to support them, and they attract a ton of bees because they produce little flowers. Just don't put them near anything else youre growing, they'll wrap around it and drag it down. Learned that the hard way
