My favorite will be the squash (both summer and winter). They are so easy to grow, got lots different shape/size/colour/taste. I can choose either bush or trailing habit to fit in my small back garden. There are so many varieties to choose from and I certainly like the heirloom/OP type for seeds saving purpose, the early maturing will be ready to harvest from mid spring (if started early) all the way to late autumn and winter (the winter squash). They are so versatile, can be use in most cooking (in soup, baked ,in pie, in bread, mashed,in desert, etc). Just love them.

My second favorite will be the tomato as they too got so much choice to choose. Though I don't have green house to grow them but it is still possible to grow outdoor toms and I would usually choose the early type (to mid season) that comes with interesting form,nice colour, tasty, compact plant (both bush and vine type), withstand cool summer and disease resistant (if possible). If they ever produce loads, there are always way to preserved them for later use such as drying, sauce making, freezing, chutney, pickling,etc.
