Anybody have any good recommendations for an "organic" fertilizer for
peppers?  Not doing to good with just manure this year.  Growth is stunted
like.  I've had lots of blossoms, but only 2 peppers.  They have only grown
about 2 inches since planting.  I have a variety of peppers, sweet & hot.
Significant amount of water each day, but not too much. No problem with bugs
& other pests, no spots or browning on leaves.  All other plants that were
planted the same day as the peppers are doing fine, even doubled their size.
Just having trouble with the peppers lagging behind in growth.  Do they need
some other type of fertilizer, or is something else wrong?

thanks for any input,
Rachael aka Rae

PS: in south/sandhill area of NC

had a cool spring, that may be it.

They can also be pretty greedy - are any of the leaves yellowing?

I've used fish emulsion for years. Not 100% organic, but close enough.
Slow release and high in nitrogen.

Definitely not cool.  We had a long spring and late frost.  But the past 3-4
weeks have been 80+.  Plants look good in color, just not growing.
