CA Bay Area garden-savvy folks, if you wanted to plant herbs and/or a few veggies (corn, tomatoes, cantaloupe, carrots) and you hadn't done a blessed thing up 'til now -- no seedlings in pots in a sunny room, nothing -- what would you choose to plant soon?

Hey, I'm only doing seed starts of my peppers, because I'm impatient. Many herbs are available now, ready to be planted. I'd say this week would be better than last week to go. OSH has a crapton of tomatoes, we were able to get whatever we wanted. Strawberries: get em now.
Carrots are easy-peasy to grow from seed in containers (6-21 days to germinate), and they LIKE that-- they like rich soil with no rocks.
Herbs: take your pick, though the woodier ones (thyme, rosemary) were scarce.
