the "days" indicated on a seed pak, does this indicate from fruit set to ripeness?

I think most of them indicate the time from transplanting it
out into the garden until ripeness (this is assuming you
start the seeds indoors). For things like carrots
(generally started directly outdoors), I think the seed
packets indicate the total expected time.

I'm sure weather and other factors (soil, stresses from
insect pests, etc.) has an effect on these times.
