Planting in August in Wyoming

Question

A friend of mine recently moved and I got a bunch of empty gardening pots. It's August but I would still like to plant something in them. What flowers and/or edibles can be planted in August?

Answer 1

Mums are the only flowers but they need to be the plants not the seeds. Also, if you plant bulbs like tulips they will come up in the spring. Not too many edibles come to mind because they need a lot of roots.
