What Grows in Zone 4 and Zone 5 for an Early August Harvest?

Darn near everything! This post covers the harvest August 1st to August 16th.

All seeds grown in the high wind prairie, Midwest, in macro-climate zone 5(ish). Average dewpoint in summer is around 60. Soil is a loamy clay. Although my preference is organic, I have used commercial fertilizers from time to time. Growing days are approximately 135.
