The Square Yellow Asti Pepper or Quadrato D'Asti Giallo is an old variety, originating from Italy. The plant, bushy, about 60 cm (24in) tall, produces many square peppers, measuring about 10 cm (4in) long, initially green, then a beautiful yellow colour when ripe. A great addition to summer dishes. Under a thin skin that peels easily, this pepper contains a firm and juicy flesh with a mild and sweet flavor, ideal for preserves. Very digestible, it can be consumed raw in salads, marinated or cooked in ratatouille, stuffed, skewered, or as a side dish for meats. The plant, sturdy and well-balanced, is grown as an annual and requires a very rich soil. This variety can produce 1.5 to 2 kg per plant. The seeds inside the fruits can be collected and sown the following year. Sow from February to April for a harvest from July to October. Seeds from Organic Farming.
We usually distinguish between peppers and chillies. Pepper is a term for a chilli without or almost no capsaicin, the substance that, in varying concentrations, produces the spicy or even burning effect.
The Pepper is a fruit vegetable which, like its close relative the chilli, belongs to the Solanaceae family. It is a perennial plant in tropical climates and is grown as an annual in our latitudes unless it has been placed in a pot so that it can be stored in a warm place during the winter. It produces small flowers, white or mauve, with anthers or seeds of different colors depending on the species.
In cooking, peppers are consumed raw in salads, quickly grilled, or cooked in confit, ratatouille, or stuffed.
In the garden, or on the balcony for the most compact varieties, it is a vegetable plant that appreciates sun, heat, and regular watering. In colder climates, it benefits from being grown undercover. It is grown in rich soil, previously amended with 3 kg of compost per m².
Harvesting: the time of harvest depends on the colour of the variety when ripe. Pick them with a small knife or by hand as needed, be aware that the pepper continues to ripen after being harvested.
Storage: peppers can be stored for several days in the vegetable drawer of the refrigerator. Depending on the quantity of your production, you may want to store them for a longer period. There are several methods: First, drying, which can be done in several ways: either in the sun by cutting the peppers in half lengthwise. Air drying indoors is only possible if the conditions are dry enough, otherwise the fruits will become soft. It can also be done with whole fruits in the oven on a low temperature grill (about 50°C) for several hours.
You can also opt for a preservation method where the pepper remains fresh. You then have the choice of marinating it in oil with herbs, pickling it in vinegar, or reducing it to a puree. There are plenty of recipes for these methods. As a last resort, you can also freeze your peppers. In any case, wash and dry them carefully.
The gardener's tip: To combat red spider mites, plant radishes nearby.

Botanical data
The square yellow Asti peppers are easy to grow. Sun and heat play a decisive role in the success of this crop. They can tolerate any type of soil, although they prefer rich, loose, and well-draining soil. You can add a little sand if the substrate is too compact.
Sowing under glass: From mid-February to May, sow indoors or in heated greenhouses in trays at around 20°C (68°F). Bury the seeds under 5 to 7 mm (0.3in) of seed compost as they need darkness to germinate. Do not use humus at this stage, as it may burn the future roots. The growth of pepper plants is rapid: the seeds germinate between 3 days and a week after sowing. This is an average. Do not discard a tray if germination has not occurred within this time frame, thinking they are irrecoverable. Some varieties take longer. When the plants have reached 5 to 6 true leaves, transplant them into buckets that will provide a little more space for their roots, and start acclimatising them to the outside on sunny days.
Transplanting in open ground: Once the risk of frost has passed, usually by mid-May, transplant your plants into the open ground. Choose the sunniest and warmest spots in the garden. At the base of a south-facing wall is an ideal position. Loosen the soil and dig a hole at least 3 to 4 times the volume of the plant's root system. Add a little well-decomposed compost at the bottom. Place your plant, which can be buried up to the first leaves, then fill in the hole. Tamp down, form a basin around the base, and water generously. Be careful not to water the leaves to protect your plants from fungal diseases. If you want to plant multiple plants, space them 60 cm (24in) apart in all directions.
Maintenance: Adding mulch at the base of your plants helps retain some moisture and reduces the need for weeding. Pepper plants do not require a lot of watering: their root system has a taproot that searches deeply for available resources. Only water generously in case of prolonged drought. If you have chosen to grow them in pots, you can keep your pepper plants for several years by storing them in a warm and well-lit place in winter. In pots, the plant cannot develop as efficient a taproot as in open ground. Therefore, it is necessary to water it regularly but moderately.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
