Love this time of year! I just finished planting my spring/summer beds. I put the metal cages over all of my plants this year in "attempt" to keep my dog from digging them up...we'll see how that works! This year I bought all of my plants at Home Depot. I get the "Bonnie" plants there because they use a minimal amount of pesticides.
Here's a list of some plants you can buy now (it's too late to plant most seeds): peppers, strawberries, tomatoes, eggplant, cucumbers, basil, oregano, squash, zucchini, beans (buy the seed).
If you are buying eggplant, there are many different types. The ones I see most of in the garden nurseries are "black beauty". I along with 2 of my neighbors have never had any luck with them. They have beautiful leaves and flowers, but the flowers fall off and never pollinate. I've had the best luck with the white, lavendar, and "ichabon" eggplants. Hope this helps :)
