But tomatoes, aubergines, peppers, melons, courgettes, pumpkins,
sweetcorn, beans, squash, etc can all be pot-grown and then planted out
quite late in the season to catch up (IME).

Thanks.

Certainly worth a try if the weather and plot look good.

I was considering growing a lot of leeks from seed so that they could
become established this year, and then harvest them first quarter next
year.

Likewise cabbage and perhaps some brussels.
