What to plant now (early July) in zone 5?

I have a big traditional garden, but this past spring I bought 2 70 gallon food-grade stocktanks to put in the back yard for easy pickin's from the back door.
I've pulled up the lettuces and spinach and left the broccoli (cut off the flowers), and the carrots, kale, collards and the beans are still growing.

Since I haven't done this before (planted anything mid-summer), was just wondering what all would be reasonable to plant now (zone 5), and would I need to put some shade cloth over it?
Thanks!
