Seed Count

La Sucette de Provence is an old French chili pepper variety originating from Provence, France. It has a long, tapered, conical shape measuring about 10 to 15 cm, often compared to a small lollipop or tongue. The pepper matures from green to bright red, sometimes passing through orange hues, and offers a distinctive fruity flavor with moderate heat ranging from about 1,500 to 2,500 Scoville Heat Units. Its thin flesh makes it especially well suited for drying, though the skin can become slightly tough when fully mature. La Sucette de Provence can be used at any stage of ripeness, whether fresh, roasted, or dried, and is ideal for making chili powders, sauces, marinades, and tapas-style dishes.

PEPPERS

The many varieties of sweet and hot peppers thrive on full sun and warm weather. Cold temperatures can weaken pepper plants and they may never fully recover, so don’t rush to plant in the spring. Be certain to use the black side of the mulch covers to speed soil warming and early growth, but be careful, as they can also overheat the plants in certain climates. Peppers can be temperamental if temperatures are too hot or too cool. Nighttime temperatures below 60°F or above 75°F can reduce fruit set. Peppers need a steady supply of water for their best performance, so be sure to check water levels each day. Like tomatoes, you may find blossom end rot on your peppers, which can be easily corrected. Peppers are prone to sun scald, so moving them to partial shade can help if temperatures become too hot. Sweet peppers can be cut up and eaten raw, roasted and marinated, sauteed; or used in stews, soups, and stir fry. Hot peppers can be pickled, added to stew, used in stir fry, and are excellent when dried and ground to be used as a seasoning to give nearly any dish a little kick.
