These are the types/varieties we planted last year (in Lehi, UT) and we will plant again this year because they worked well for us:
Spinach - Brand: Ferry Morse, Spinach (Bloomsdale, Long Standing)
Pumpkins - Brand: Ferry Morse, Pumpkin (Jack O'Lantern)
Lettuce - Brand: Burpee, Lettuce (Green Ice)
Broccoli -Brand: Ferry Morse, Broccoli (De Cicco Earth Gems)
Winter Squash - Brand: Burpee, Winter Squash, (Buttercup)
Squash - Brand: Lilly Miller, Squash (Vegetable Spaghetti)*this is so cool - it really comes apart like spaghetti noodles and we loved eating in place of pasta! Very fun! :)
Zucchini - Brand: Lilly Miller, Zucchini (Italian Striped)
Corn - Brand: Mountain Valley Seed, Corn (se) Ambrosia Hybrid
Peas - Brand: Mountain Valley Seed, Pea, Snap Sugar Snap
The following did not do well for us (maybe it was our fault... :)
Cantaloupe - Brand: Lilly Miller, Cantaloupe (Hearts O' Gold)
Watermelon - Brand: Ferry Morse, Watermelon (Crimson Sweet)
Green Onions - Brand: Ferry Morse, Onion (Evergreen Bunching)
Carrots - Brand: Ferry Morse, Carrot (Red Cored Chantenay 7317b)
We also bought tomatoes and bell peppers as "starts" (tiny plant instead of seeds) and will do so again, but I don't recall what varieties we bought! :( We always go to the nursery and have a look around and decide what starts to buy. We planted all of these things on the Saturday before Mother's Day and that's what we're going to do again this year.
