You're cutting it kind of close but honestly with south LA winters you never know. I had uncovered pepper plants survive and produce all winter a few years back in baton rouge. Cucumbers planted now would probably make before we got an actual frost, and if they didn't die, they'd be right back to making with the next warm days. Garlic and onions can be planted now but they won't mature until late spring, so be mindful of using space you would put spring stuff.
I plan to overwinter a few of my more productive pepper plants and see if I can get a jumpstart next spring.

I planted several varieties of heat tolerant tomatoes last week to replace my Cherokee Purples. They produced well through mid July but nothing after that. I've never tried this before so it will be an interesting experiment.
The heat tolerant tomatoes produced a lot of tomatoes. But small ones. And not all that tasty. So mixed result at best. The Cherokee Purples I planted in September grew great. And produced no fruit at all. We have ridiculous dew points in the Florida Panhandle.
Tomatoes don't stand up all that great to 90 MPH winds.
Blueberries don't much like salt water storm surge. After hitting them with a LOT of fresh water I think most will survive. Hopefully. Just not sure. On the plus side the salt killed weeds and trashy bushes like you can't believe. Unfortunately, also a few oaks and pines from the look of things.
Fack Michael.
