for the pointy types I like April and Flowers of Spring but favourite is Offenham - never grown the ball type for spring

we put greyhound in, loose for early but will head up later, they grow quite quickly as well, just watch for slugs ;D

Windygale - I'd highly recommend T&M Advantage F1. I raved about it on a thread called 'Instant cabbage' on 08 September (in Edible Plants) if you'd like to have a look.

I love spring greens!

Best of luck!
