I forgot to mention: beans are a cool-season crop too. Broad beans were listed as frost-tolerant, but at 40F nights, most beans should work. Snap peas are perfect. Tomatoes are probably okay but grow slowly in cool temperatures; either choose cool-tolerant varieties or put a black tray around them and/or a milk jug over them. Here's an article about tomatoes and temperatures. Soil needs to be really warm for squash; wait on those, unless you want to start them indoors.
