Unfortunately I'm not positioned to advise on that particular topic, but have you checked the gardening calendar topic? I think there is a vegetable section in there too. Once you have done so or found any additional information I would be grateful if you could add to the forum.

you can sow marigold at this time for autumn blooms.

Summers were hot this year- and absolutely no rain. I was protecting plants too!

Lots of flowers can be sown this time- check the local catalogues, calender posts to get an idea. Same with veggies.

My advice would be to select one or two flowers, and mass plant them-easier to keep track/take care and looks amazing- for a beginner!

I would advice to wait till mid September because at this time you will get poor output moreover, seedling will not also be too strong.
