Online Seed orders

I'm looking at ordering from William Dam seeds. Has anyone bought from this company? If so, what was your experience?

We just ordered from them this year. Seeds came fast. Easy to order. The true test is will they grow? I'll let you know.

Thanks, @Kbr42 - good to know! They have some seed varieties that I haven't been able to source elsewhere, so I think I'll place an order for them.

I ordered seeds from them a few years ago, and seem to remember having good results.

I have ordered from William Dam Seeds a few times. They send a reasonable amount of seeds, and I had good luck with them growing. I have some seeds that are a couple years old and they will still germinate.

Yeah, me too. Problem is, they're kind of like weeds: I really don't want to grow them, but there they are anyway.;-)

My 92 year old meticulous gardener Dutchman stepdad swears by them, has ordered from them for years, wont order from anyone else, they are the best and Canadian and on and on. He's probably right, but he will go on about it. I think they should make a nauseum ad with him in it.
