Default What should I plant now?

Group,
I live in zone 6, eastern PA. I am a newbie for gardening.
I just got a piece of small community garden and I am learning to
garden. Now that it is late august, what should I plant? I do not
have any preference, only something that can get my foot wet, something
that can survive the winter or can harvest before frost kills them.
Any suggestions?

Plant cool season leafy root vegetables: Carrots, Beets, Turnips,
Lettuce, Chard, Radishes and Spinach.

Sow hardy annuals: Sweet Alyssum, Calendula, Annual Pinks, Snapdragon,
and Sweet Peas.
HTH
