What can I plant in the Midwest this time of year?

I’m a little new to vegetable gardening – I’ve lived in apartments the past 10 years and haven’t had anywhere to plant one! I just moved into my first house (SOooo happy!), and I want to plant a big vegetable garden in my front yard (edible landscaping style).

Can I start anything now? I live in NE Kansas (which is on the edge of the eastern forested zone, for those who know about different climates). Right now it’s typical August weather – super hot and humid, lots of sun, very little rain. (We had a storm blow through (literally) last night – it lasted about 5 minutes and barely got the ground wet, but the wind managed to knock out power on the whole block and knock a tree branch down in my front yard!)

Also, I have 2 medium-sized tomato plants (about 1 1/2 feet tall) and a small pepper plant (about 3 inches tall) growing in pots. Should I put them in the ground, or leave them where they seem to be doing ok?

Thanks for the advice!
