Hmmm. I grew up in eastern PA, which is where I learned to handweed for my mother.

Well, if it were me, I’d clean out the bed, let it sprout once, then turn it and clear plastic it for at least six weeks (until you get that sticky hot weather in June). Then, lots of compost mulch and put the plants in with a drip watering system for only them. The nice thing about the compost is that it’s easy to hoe–no rocks and very fluffy.
