You can still sow runner beans, can be very useful to plant a second lot now as it will extend the season or you can sow a few to replace any that have been eaten by various pests. You can sow them in a container, in a bed or in the border amongst flowers or other veg and put up individual canes for them. Or if you are growing sunflowers, they will climb them for support.
Radishes, lettuce, beetroot and peas can still be sown every 2 -3 weeks so you have a constant supply.
Sow carrot, beetroot, radish, turnip, spinach, Swiss chard, lettuce, parsley, cabbage, chervil, chinese cabbage, cress, dandelion, escarole, endive, fennel, purslane, rocket, sorrel, kohlrabi, fennel.
Personally I would still have a go at sowing any seeds that are not listed here that you could sow in June.
I still wish I had sown more peas, mind you it is nothing short of a miracle that I have 3 lots on the go. Not one pod of peas has made it to the kitchen, they always get eaten before they get that far. They are so much better than those bought in a shop, much sweeter. The top picture is the peas that I sowed at the weekend waiting to be covered with soil. The second photo are peas that are about 3 weeks old, the last one is the first lot of peas that I sowed on the 27th April.

Dear Angie I find your gardening tips very useful.I only have a small garden, and have suddenly become interested in growing my own veg in pots, you are helping me many thanks.
I didn’t think I could plant beans again in July but I might give it a try.
