Too late for runner beans.
you could try french beans, but they like a humus rich soil, not heavy clay. you would need to dig in a lot of compost first .
not much of anything you can sow in July/Aug as the days are now shortening.
Plenty of perennials can be sown sept onwards.
I use a hose spray to push all the duckweed up to 1 end of the pond and scoop it out with a net. Works well and my 12' x 8' pond is duckweed free
Good luck!
