Tomatoes, string beans, cucumbers, pumpkins, watermelons, lettuces, strawberries, raspberries, peas (might be a little late to start planting), corn... and I'm sure many other things grow well here. Just find a spot that gets at least 6 hrs of full sun each day, mix a little compost or potting soil in where you'll be planting and make sure to keep the plants watered now that it's getting hot.
Probably the best & easiest thing to do is go to a local nursery and talk to someone who works there and just buy what they are selling or start seeds as soon as possible. Cooks greenhouse is on 1600 N in Orem, on Geneva Rd (go west, under I-15). I'm not sure how much help you'd get at Lowes or Home Depot and Lindon Walmart was out of most things last time I went (again, not the best place to get help). Now is a good time to be planting a lot of types of veggies, most will really grow quickly now that it is warming up. It's probably too late for lettuces and peas and I haven't been able to find strawberry plants anymore.
Have fun gardening! If nothing else, you can always just buy a pot, some good potting soil, and a tomato plant or two and enjoy tomatoes on your patio this summer!
