do you start from seeds or seedlings from the store? and when to plant the seeds? now?

Either/or on all of the above with a couple exceptions (carrots and turnips should be direct seeded). Look at the LSU ag center guide linked in the OP for timing. Those are all cool season crops. Fall planting is tricky: too early and you have this damn heat, too late and you have short days with low sun angle. Most of those cool season crops do fine (or are even enhanced) with a light frost, so as long as you have enough Oct/Nov sunlight, I would not rush fall planting.

I do not remember the date, but we were all excited about our first ever lettuce and broccoli crops last year and wham...frozen.
