I've just sown some foxgloves i sowed 14 last year and had 12 healthy plants that I planted out a few weeks ago ready to flower next year. I don't have a greenhouse anymore either but started them on a window tray
Biennials are the thing to plant now. The foxgloves mentioned by Sophie17 are an obvious place to start plus wallflowers and forget-me-nots for next spring. Look through any decent seed company's catalogue/web site for biennials to get some inspiration.
Seeds from things such as opium poppies and nigella can be dropped about the garden to start growing for next year when they will flower in June. They self seed freely so once you have the first year's crop, you shouldn't need to plant them ever again.
