Veggies for 2008

My favorite magazines just arrived, err ... well they are actually seed catalogs!
I am fond of these suppliers, but perhaps you can suggest more?

Seeds From Italy, growitalian.com/Qstore/
Tomato Growers Supply Company, www.tomatogrowers.com
W. Atlee Burpee & Co., www.burpee.com

What are you using for a seed starter? I would sure like to hear about your favorite! Hydrofarm recently came out with a seed starter which they call Hot House With Heat Mat and 6-inch dome. I have been testing mine and will start using it soon. The plastic is quite thin. I like the height. Here is a description:

I received some email asking what veggies I would grow this year. Some of these are old favorites (the seed packets are almost empty) while others are new items I am trying for the first time. Sadly, carrots will not work in my soil. What favorites would you add to this list?
