Onions etc will be fine, just a little late and probably a bit small, 
depends on the summer.
Peas and beans will be OK as will carrots, leeks and parsnips. Lettuce is 
planted throughout the season anyway. Sweetcorn, provided it's one of the 
modern quick growing type will be OK too.
All the cucurbits will be Ok, and will probably catch up with earlier 
planted ones, given a bit of extra TLC.
If you plant some summer cabbages you will get nice autumn ones, but it's 
still the right time to plant winter/spring cabbages, cauliflowers, and 
sprouts.
You can plant some Toms for outside now but I would probably buy in plants

this late.

Basically it all depends on our summer.

Hope that helps
