And, the final thing to remember is that it is an estimate,
in a particular place, in the best growing season. We find, for instance,
in Kentucky, that seeds from Johnny's have an actually DTM (Days to Maturity)
that is several days fewer in the prime growing season. And, in spring and
fall, DTM will be significantly different because of day length. We have
started tracking ACTUAL DTM on our crops so we can plan
better.

And in some cases, from date of transplanting out in the field; though this
should only be for crops ordinarily started indoors / in greenhouse, and most
companies will specify that it's "days from transplant".

Okay, a goofy question...sorry.When the seeds says "so many days to maturation", does day 1 start when you plant it, or does day 1 start when it germinates?
