It's surprisingly difficult to get seed varieties that are well adapted to smaller scale gardening and the vegetables / fruits you buy in the supermarket are often sterile hybrids or seedless.
Check out realseeds.co.uk if you are in the UK (or even if not they may still post abroad). Their catalogue is made up of open-pollinated varieties for saving your own seed from. They even have some open source designs for seed-saving hardware and are very based. In fact most of the veg currently growing in my garden is fourth or fifth generation from seed I bought from them is and is adapting to my local conditions.
