Is it to late in the Spring to plant a Vegetable Garden "Seeds" - or is it best to buy "Baby Vegetable Plants? - vegetable garden seeds

because it is so late in the spring now?

I like starting a garden from scratch -> from seed.
For me, as (is) falling, if some people their gardens from tiny baby plants Veggy. You are not really new. Just my opinion: -)

But as always not too late to start my garden right seed?

Helpful Hint:
I live in San Jose, California, and is very hot all the way until mid September * *.... if it helps people to help, answer me () this issue.

Thanks
