Grass will reemerge. If you continue to pull out the grass that is still there, you probably can plant some big ones that grow upright, like cabbage,tomatoes or peppers. If you seed in that soil, most likely the seeds will be taken over by reemerging grass. From other point, if you can wait till second season (not sure if you have one, I do and I am at the same zone, but in Massachusetts ) you can cover the plot with black plastic for couple of months, that will kill most of the grass roots. I planted the same year after grass, but I didn't tilt it - I carefully dig whole plot with a shovel and took the grass out every time I put shovel in the soil.

I started all my gardens in my last house from tilled lawn. Plant anything you like. Just be sure to take off the clumps of grass in the top 6 inches. Add compost and give it a year of intensive weeding.

Cutworms may be prevalent where there was sod. If you plant toatoes, peppers, or brassica plants you can put a little collar of aluminum foil around the stem about an inch above and below the surface.

Unfortunately, you may may still wake up one morning to find a row of beans mowed down. If this happens, try to find the critter just under the soil at the last plant eaten, and send him to the Elysian Fields.
