If you were being exiled to an island (temperate) and you were allowed to bring 7 kinds of plant seeds with you to grow food, which ones?

Update:

would you bring?

Update 2:

Or in other words which 7 plant species do you think would give you the best chance of survival?

    Potatoes, Carrots, Tomatoes, Okra, Cabbage, Bell Peppers, Green Beans.

    There'd be a lot of gumbo (or as near as I could make it) in my future.

    EDIT:

    I'm going to change one of those.  Switch out okra for flax.  Okra is nice, but clothes are nicer.

    In a temperate island, there are already enough plant species to help me survive, but my favourite fruits are watermelon, strawberry, peach, mango, greengage, sour cherry and coconut.

    Apples, tomatoes, blueberries, zucchinis, strawberries, broccoli, and eggplant. Also, i would kind of like to be on an island like in "LOST"...without the others of course
