i am growing green peppers for the first time the plant looks healthy
the fruits a forming however they are falling off when they are still
very small what am i doing wrong any ideas?

Most likely they have failed to pollinate. Later ones may be more
successful, or you could try hand pollination, i.e. transfer some
pollen from male to female flowers. Female flowers have a tiny swelling
behind them which should grow into a fruit.
