Temporary gap-fillers

I have some gaps in my garden where  early spring stuff has finished and I will later plant cosmos but obviously they're not ready yet.

Can anyone suggest something to plant there for a couple  of  months?

In London. Keen but lazy.

    Wallflowers..... depends on your soil though, they hate acid soil, I have to water mine with lime. Forgot this year and they are a pretty sorry show!
