I would love to grow some but can`t find any specific seeds . Just wondering if it`s a specific cabbage with another name perhaps ? Anyone know ?

ladybird looks like pamfrey is a name local to your area. A quick look on some of the sites might suit you best as I don't know if you prefer savoy or something like 'tundra' or 'Durham Early' - could ask Derek Brooks if he could suggest any :-)

well I never knew that daisy . The pamfrey I have bought when available has a distintive taste, different to ordinary cabbage, though so I`m still a bit confused about what it actually is .

I'd never heard of pamphrey either daisy & ladybird so I looked it up & it does say it's a Northern Irish name for a type of cabbage, usually a spring cabbage, so maybe you could try something listed as 'spring cabbage' ladybird?

Next time you buy one ladybird you could post a photo on here maybe someone will recognise it!

Now that sould be it Sue, a spring cabbage ,which means it will be in the shops soon. It`s quite soft and only has a few leaves, they are sometimes packed in two`s. Daisy it looks just like a heartless cabbage .

That sounds like 'spring greens' ladybird, I think they're just spring cabbages planted close together & harvested early before they develop a proper 'heart', I like them too, you could always try asking the greengrocer what the exact variety name is maybe.

Yes they are lovely - just love cabbage. I know what you mean ladybird - about trying to find something that you reall like to eat and not know its name - we ate a lovely potato over 20 years ago and asked the greengrocer the name, when we went back next time he had none left and all he was able to tell us was, it was a French potato, never tasted anything quite like it again. :-))
