Whether you plant from seeds or pre-started plants, these vegetables all do well in mid-summer and will produce a harvest in fall.
It's still possible to plant vegetables like tomatoes and spinach, which is why you shouldn't put off starting your garden.

Cauliflower can also be planted in July. However, you should plant them in shade during the hottest parts of the day.
