I'd plant outdoors in the spring after danger of frost is over, usually the last week of May. You can start earlier, but would have to cover some tender plants if a sudden frost is predicted. Cooler weather plants aren't usually harmed by late frost . Lettuce, tomatoes & peppers are pretty easy to grow. Sage, Lemon Balm & mint are easy to grow herbs.
Here's a site with flowers, shrubs & fruits that grow well in NY:

You might want to choose from the list of "Protected Plants" in NY. Here's just a few: American Bittersweet
Azalea or Rhododendron, native Rhododendron species
Cardinal Flower, Lily, Oswego Tea, Strawberry Bush
