Too Much Rain Backyard Has Standing Water Can I Save My Garden

We got too much rain and the backyard was underwater. The water receeded by the next morning. Only part of my garden was underwater (see picture). Can I still eat these vegetables? There is lettuce, basil, green beans, zucchini, carrots, cucumber. Thanks.

As long as the veggies look palatable and dried out they should be OK to eat. If the lettuce got too much water, it may be too water soaked.
