Fifty-plus pepper plants this season, and only a few earned a permanent spot in my garden. In this video I taste and rank the peppers that stood out, from my favorite sweet pepper to a hot cross that changed my whole face, plus the long-requested Lipstick, finally grown and tasted.

In this video:
• Blat, my favorite sweet pepper, and how it held up after freezing,
• Mama Mia Giallo, an early yellow Italian sweet pepper,
• Brian's Blood, the first hot pepper of the tasting,
• Zenith and the mutant peppers: what crossing an odd plant really gives you,
• Lipstick vs. Apple, and the Ghostly Jalapeño that didn't behave as described.
