Why are my bell pepper plants so small and the peppers on them equally tiny?
They have been regularly watered and fertilized and have lots of sun. The pepper walls are also quite thin.
Mentalvalor, I have 4 plants, which I started from heritage seeds. I have 4 jalapenos next to them [yeah, this is my first year gardening so I didn't realize not to do that!], and those 4 plants I started from cheap seeds, and they are very small plants also, even smaller than the bell pepper. You can email me through my profile.

How many plants are you growing? If it it 3 or 4, it is possible that all of them happen to be duds. Keep in mind how small the seeds are; it does happen.
On the other hand, if you have more plants, there definitely is something wrong.
I'm sorry, it really does sound like you are doing everything correct. But I'm flabbergasted. Are you available to chat via email?

I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you other than maybe this hasn't been a good year for peppers. I planted just 4 plants. They haven't grown much at all. Now two of them have one pepper each that are almost as big as the plant (looks weird) and the other two aren't doing anything.

There's nothing wrong with what your doing, the farther we get into summer the less they will produce. they need cool evenings and warm days to do really well.
