You'd be able to sow quick-heading broccoli and broccoli raab (Rapini). As for cabbages, Spring and Chinese are the ones for this time of year. I'm sure I have some of each of these to spare. I've also got Scorzonera but  I've only ever known it as a spring sowing veg. I'll have a rootle and let you know for sure tomorrow... er... later today.

;D

Seem to think I have cabbage in my big box of seeds.  I'll have a look to see what kind it is but if you don't hear from me I am wrong about having the seeds.

Okay, I've got:
Cabbage (Flower of Spring), Quick-heading Broccoli and Scorzonera.
Still looking for my Scorzonera (story of my life)  ;D
As for peas, I understand any round variety (as opposed to wrinkly, I suppose) can be sown now and, with a bit of protection later on, will give a quick crop this year.

PM me.
