What can I plant now? In Louisiana zone 8b

I just started vegetable gardening last summer and had a great time with
squash, tomatoes, cukes, etc.  I have to admit that I've let things lie fallow
over the winter (I can rationalize this by saying that I had to redo the
beds--I've just installed raised beds because I'm hoping that will improve the
drainage in my heavy clay soil...) but I'm ready now to start planting.  Due to
our mild winters and limited freezes I'm sure that I can start things now, but
I'm not really sure what...even Mel's book is rather confusing.  Can someone
else in the same area give me some suggestions?  I was thinking of putting in
broccoli, parsley and onions out as transplants and trying to start lettuce,
carrots, radishes, peas, spinach and potatoes from seed outside (or rather let
the seeds germinate inside and then plant them outside) . My family
won't eat cabbage and I don't like beets, so I'm going to skip those.  Does
that sound like a plan?  Anything else I should consider?

TIA,
Jane
