Default fall garden - what works?

We had to remove a large tree last year and, for the first time in
many years, we have a spot (10x15') with good sun. We had an excellent
spring garden -- cherry tomatoes, peppers, basil, parsley, etc. Very
successful.

I have good experience with summer veg gardens in other parts of the
country, but have yet to adapt to this "2-season" business. As
expected, the tomatoes are on their way out and we're looking to plant
a fall garden. Any suggestions about what works well? More
specifically, any suggestions about what *doesn't* work well? As in,
things that like heat at the end. I've taken cuttings of the tomatoes,
so we'll probably go for a second crop of those.

Also, should I be replanting asap, or should I wait a few weeks to get
over the summer heat hump?
