Wow! What a nightmare thought. I read Veggie's first line and thought 'uh oh, here we go again' 
If we had warning, I'd begin with hoarding anything and everything I deemed useful. If no warning, then I'd be in the mire. I'd have to select the OP tomato seed I have and grow only those, or take a risk and save seed from F1s. Beans we could save but I've not the room to isolate to maintain purity, again that would be pot luck. Sweetcorn would be a problem as they're all F1. Cucurbits would be an experiment, as would carrots, I've never saved seed from them. I think Sarriss is very organised in her self sufficiency, I'm impressed. I think I would flounder. What a terrible scenario. It's like thinking about life without the Internet or electricity, horrifying.
