I couldn't wait either. I have cabbage, brussel sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, peppers, eggplant and various perennial flowers already started and some coming up! Here's photos of the shelves I built for sprouting.

I think you can start anything in the broccoli family, peppers,eggplant, lettuce, tomatoes will get leggy but you can always plant them deep. Any herbs should be fine. I plant consecutively so you could just start a few of each. I find eggplant and peppers need a substantial plant in order to produce. I am technically in zone 6 but, perennials listed as zone 6 do not make it but, zone 5 is fine.

I've started some microgreens (thick plantings of an Italian greens mix and some yellow soup peas) for eating now. We haven't been in this house long and I have yet to decide where to set up my seed starting table? Guess I better decide quickly as the time is approaching.

Some great pics of setups and seedlings. Thanks for sharing.

I will be this weekend. I'm not sure where I'm going to set up my lights though. The new house just doesn't have a good spot for it. What I wouldn't give for a greenhouse...

Right now, I'm just growing some Easter plants for church ( a Nasturtium, and some Farewell-to-Spring plants). They'll be blooming by Easter. The first veggies to get started are Watermellons (April), followed by Melon/Cucumbers (April-May).
