There is a planting list in a catalog so I didn't have to do any work -just typing dates for ya all.
Ok here is the list with seed info but the dates are very vague so I will type in a few pieces of info now. The catalog is from Oregon so these are late dates for most people. Some things I haven't grown but will try to get accurate info by and by.

Artichokes 4/1 - 7/1 haven't grown; is perennial
Asparagus 5/1 - 7/1 ditto
Beans, Bush (snap) 5/15 - 7/1 start right around the frost free date and optional: plant a couple crops 2-3 weeks apart.
Beans, bush (dry) 5/15 - 6/7
Beans, Pole 5/15 - 6/7 same as bush, pole beans produce over a longer time but require a frame to grow on
Beets 4/1 - 7/15 haven't grown
Broccoli 4/1 - 7/15 plant before frost free date, can withstand cold, bugs are troublesome!
Brussels Sprouts 6/1 - 7/1 yuck!
Cabbage, Early 4/15 - 6/15 can't eat and so haven't grown
Cabbage, Late 5/15 - 7/15 you can grow 2 crops, one early and one later
Chinese Cabbage 5/15 - 8/15 very easy to grow, plant around mid spring. Does bolt in hot weather sometimes. Mine bolted last year for no reason.
Carrots 4/1 - 7/15 plant now, very early, mix seed with radishes since it is so small. Thin carrots seedlings as they grow.
Cauliflower, Early 4/15 - 6/15 same as broc
Cauliflower, Late 6/1 - 7/1
Celery 4/15 - 6/1 yuck
Collards 7/1 - 7/20 evidently these should be planted in warm summer soil
Corn 6/1 - 6/15 I think anytime after frost free date. My advice: (my dad's fam had a sweet corn farm) don't try to grow unless you have A LOT of room for it. If you grow one or two small rows you are just wasting space. You might get a few ears and no more.
Cucumbers 6/1 - 6/15 I plant on June 1. soil should be warm.
Kale 5/1 - 7/15
Kohlrabi 4/1 - 8/10
Leeks 3/1 - 5/15 plant a few crops. In my area they must be started by seed indoors in winter. I plant them around May 1
Lettuce 4/1 - 8/1 plant successive plantings every 2 weeks. harvest when young. Grow in a shady cool spot if possible. It bolts from heat, keep well watered.
Chicory/Endive 5/1 - 6/1
Melons 6/1 - 6/20 after soil warms up
Okra 5/15 - 6/15
Onions 4/5 - 6/1 cannot seed outdoors. Buy seedlings or sets and plant when still cold out. Mine go in mid April.
Parsley 3/1 - 6/1 cold tolerant
Parsnips 5/1 - 7/15
Peas 10/1 - 6/1 soak seeds overnight, can plant 2 crops 2-3 weeks apart. Mine go in early April when soil can be worked. Needs some support. Can plant a fall crop in early-mid August. Spray with fungus spray and give a lot of space to prevent mildew.
Peppers 3/15 - 4/15 start inside or buy plants. I start mine in Feb in the house. Plant when soil warms or use wall o'waters.
Pumpkins 5/15
Radish 3/1 - 8-15 plant early, grow with carrots.
Rhubarb 3/1 - 5/15
Rutabaga 6/1 - 7/15
Shallots 4/1-5/15 plant at the time of onions, use sets not seeds. Can plant in fall too.
Spinach 3/1 - 8/15 needs cool temps. Can grow a early and late crop. Water often to help stay cool.
Squash, Summer 5/15 - 6/15 after frost free date
Squash, Winter 5/15 - 6/15
Swiss Chard 4/1 - 7/15
Turnips 5/1 - 8/15
Tomatoes 4/1 - 5/1 start seeds in March, plants can be planted after frost free date or use wall o'waters.
Watermelons 6/1 - 6/20 after soil warms

Potatoes plant old ones with eyes, plant about early May in most places.
basil best to plant seedlings after frost free date, grow by tomatoes.
cilantro/coriander seed outside after frost date. plant a couple every two weeks. same with dill, grow dill by cucumbers.
