60 days.  Start seeds indoors 6 weeks before the last frost.  Transplant seedlings into well-drained soil 10-12" apart after danger of frost has passed in a location that will provide a minimum of 6-8 hours of sunlight daily.  Direct plant seeds 1/4" deep after the last frost date, the soil should be at least 70ºF/21ºC.  Gets along well with tomatoes.  Great for container gardening.  Harvest frequently to encourage more growth and larger overall yields.  Pinch directly above where a pair of leaves are growing; two stems will result.  Pinch any flowers to encourage continued growth.
