Zone 6b - What to plant in July

I live in zone 6b and I'm looking to plant some more vegetables. What will be OK to plant around this time?

Bush beans, parsley, basil, dill, summer squash (zucchini, yellow crookneck, pattipan), carrots, corn -- anything that matures within 75~80 days is fair game. I'm starting fall heading lettuce and cole crops (cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts) inside and will be planting them out when they're ready. I'm a bit late with the BS but it's an earlier variety so hopefully I'll make it as long as we don't get the sudden deep freeze we had at the beginning of October last year. I'm planting fall peas, spinach, and lettuce later on.

I have no idea what zone 6b is. I don't even know what zone I'm in. If you have 3 months of growing season left you can plant just about anything you like. I plant new stuff every day. Every time I peal potatoes I plant the peal and it grows new potato plants. I planted more egg plant 3 days ago.
