I would say I'm SS in lettuce, courgette, beans (haricot & broadies, too hot for runners), cabbage (except red), fresh tomatoes (and normally sun-dried & passata too), peppers, chillies, leeks, parsnips, aubergine, pumpkins, herbs, beetroot, kale, chard, soft fruit, & niche stuff like figs, cherries, artichokes & asparagus. I don't see this as part time SS because we have it when in season and don't buy out of season. If a crop fails we go without, with the exception of tinned tomatoes.

Part time SS in apples, pears, plums, peaches - the trees are young and the harvest improves year on year. Garlic sometimes lasts the year, sometimes not. 

I buy potatoes, onions & bananas all year round, and at Christmas I buy a red cabbage. In the hungry gap (now) I'll buy one item of veg a week to supplement what's in the freezer/store.  This week a big fat fennel bulb, last week a bag of carrots.

I'm sure I've forgotten loads Smile
