Is it too late to plant them? I'm not sure but weve still got at least a month before it starts to get cool here.
I live in La. and this is what I generally plant from now till mid fall.
For an early harvest before any frost I plan on putting in more of the following next week.
Soybeans for Edamame
Pole beans
Cucumbers
Tomatoes
From September to early spring I put in the following.
Collard Greens
Leaf Lettuce (many varieties)
Swiss Chard
Broccoli
Onions
Garlic
Brussels Sprouts
Beets
If you have the room, you can grow cabbage, cauliflower, more greens like mustard and turnips. I love cabbage and cauliflower, but they take up a lot of space for a "one and done" plant so I don't plant them.
For a more detailed list, search for crops that can be grown in Zone 9 and you should get a large list of things that can be planted and when is the best months to plant them.
Also my pepper plants and artichoke over-wintered last year and I was picking Jalapeno, banana, and Hungarian Wax peppers through the winter.
