Will any windowsill work?
No. A dim window can produce weak growth and poor fruiting. Use a bright position and supplemental grow lighting when needed.
How soon will it crop?
It is an early variety, but published timings differ. Plan around your light, warmth and transplanting conditions rather than a guaranteed number of days.
Plant size, flavour and harvest timing depend on growing conditions.
