Melons, peppers, tomatoes are all great options!
Also lettuces and radishes
You can plant anything that you have enough time to mature before frost in the fall. Green beans, either bush or pole or both are another option. Bush starts ripening fruit before pole beans, so both can be used if you want a longer bean season.
Spinach is another good one. It actually doesn't do great in the middle of summer when it gets too hot.
Lettuce comes up so quickly from seed, that this would still work before it gets too hot.
You can harvest lettuce very early. My uncle used to toss lettuce seeds in his garden in the middle of winter and sure enough, he harvested lettuce first. I actually plant my tomatoes in the order in which they will mature. Early girls are first then bigger boys then better boys or celibrity and finally beef master. That way I get tomatoes from beginning of summer to the end. Hope this helps, From: Cindy
