Hello Debbie,
The most appropriate late season vegetable varieties to plant at this time frame include, Southern pea seeds, sweet potato slips, pepper transplants and okra seed or transplants.
Here are links to our spring and fall vegetable recommendations.

Possibly check with your local independent nursery, feed store or Master Gardener Association on seeds or transplants? Or, make a trip down to San Antonio.
In regards to citrus varieties in containers, consider Improved Myers lemon or a Mexican lime.

For outdoor landscape citrus, consider Satsuma's such as Miho, Seto or the newest 'Orange Frost'.
