If I was cast off to a desert island, and had to grow my own food, these are the 20 packets of vegetable seed I would take. :

For harvesting late spring to early autumn:

• Artichoke ‘Globe ‘Violetta’ – elegant, beautiful and delicious
• Beetroot 'Pronto' – lovely, sweet round beetroot
• Bean Broad 'Stereo' – late season, bred for soft, delicious bean skins, so never needs shelling
• Bean French 'Blue Lake Climbing' – the best flavoured climbing French bean
• Bean Runner ‘Polestar’ – lovely stringless runner bean, eat the flowers too
• Carrot 'Early Nantes' (organic) – for early, delicious sweet carrots
• Courgette 'Romanesco' – superb texture and taste and good large flowers for stuffing
• Cucumber ‘La Diva’ – delicious, miniature cucumbers for growing inside or out
• Pea 'Sugar Snap' – for early, whole, delicious pods of crunchy peas and pea tips
• Tomato 'Black Krim' – for full-sized Beefsteak salad tomato, which is easy, prolific and delicious
• Tomato 'Sungold' – sweet cherry tomato, for eating whole and raw and for making sauces and soups.
  

For harvesting in autumn, winter and early spring:

• Leek 'Hannibal' (organic) – the tallest, straightest, whitest, most tender leeks
• Purple Sprouting Broccoli 'Red Arrow' – a good producer in March and April, when there’s little in the garden to eat
• Spinach 'Dominant' – as a baby leaf salad or fully grown, this has the best flavour and texture of any spinach I know and is slow to bolt
• Squash ‘Red Kuri’ – elegant climbing squash with good productivity and flavour
  

For harvesting almost all year:

• Chard 'White Silver' (organic) – delicious leaves and stems for six months of harvest
• Kale 'Red Russian' (organic) – Eat as baby leaf in salads and mature leaves as wilted green, crops for six months at a stretch
