Square Foot Planting Question

Dear List Members:

This was my first year using raised beds.  I really enjoy gardening this way.
 I've been enjoying some great vegetables over the last few weeks.

My question is this....I thought I read Mel's book pretty well about
planting, but it seems like I have a lot of wasted space.  I planted 1 whole
row of squares with bush beans.  They are over running the next row, so I
can't plant anything there.  I have tried to tie them up, but they still hang
all over the second row.

I have the same problem in my second bed.  I planted a row of cukes and
thought I did a good job of stringing them up.....my tomato plants are in the
same bed.  The two rows in between are useless......

Can anyone suggest how I should have planted so all rows are usable?  I have
the basic stuff in the beds....cukes, tomatoes, hot peppers, pea pods, green
beans, radish, lettuce, carrot, scallion, basil.

Thanks for your help.

PS....those of you interested in swapping recipes could send out or request
recipes backchannel....just make a list of people wanting to do that.  I am
on two food recipe lists....foodwine and eat-l which you could also join.
