You can buy set plants at Lowe's Garden Center (I imagine Home Depot as well). They have a good variety of plants.
My "success" with them has been off and on. Do well with springtime planting (harvesting in May) but not as well with the fall ones. I think my problem the last two years was that I waited until October to plant. This year I started my own seedlings, which I transplanted outside a couple of weeks ago and are now about 4" - 5" high and doing well. I'm trying one I never tried before; "Abe Lincoln" which is an inteterminate heirloom variety.
Peppers seem to do well whenever. Cucumbers and zucchini, not so much.
Good luck.
