Default peppers

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
