You're talking about cool weather? Mustard, salad mix, coles, beets,
chard, arugula, coriander/cilantro. Potatoes may be a possibility,
but I've never had luck with Fall potatoes.
You can schedule tomato planting to set fruit when the night
temperatures are in the 60s. Is that all summer for you?
We produce okra off of a single planting from June through the freeze
around November, though it slows in cool weather.
Pears. Persimmons. Muscadines.
Our peppers produce a little in the Summer but more in the Fall.
Cantaloupe, watermelon, and peas can be planted no matter how hot it
is.
