vegetables that grow well in wet soil

I live in the Houston area and have about 100 square feet that I dug out this spring for a vegetable garden. Just after I dug the garden, our neighbors put in a sprinkler system that is right on the other side of the fence that my garden is up against. About 75 square feet of the garden is fine and doesn't get wet when they water. The other 25 square feet gets completely waterlogged everyday, sometimes twice a day when they water and it drains into this one area.

I planted watermelon seeds and they have been doing terribly, growing slowly and just not doing much, although I can't say for sure that it's all the water. It could be something else that's keeping them from growing. But I'm wondering if anyone knows of any veggies that would grow well in constantly wet soil?

I'm so bummed out. I have all this extra space and I can't use it! Any ideas?
