Earl, it's getting real late in season. You'd better focus on quick maturing and/or cool weather hardy selections. That included most leafy greens, broccoli may still have time. Root veggies Probably don't have enough time remaining. I'd think spinach, turnip greens, maybe leaf lettuce, cabbage. More expensive, but I'd go with starter plants on lettuce and cabbage, shave a couple weeks off growing time. Only problem might be finding plants and seeds this late. Many herbs are cold hardy. You may consider setting part of the area aside for herbs.

Good luck with what you end up planting. Hopefully you'll be in-country at the start of spring next year, and able to go full tilt on planting!!!
