Try spraying with fish emulsion or a fish seaweed mix. If you have been really wet, you probably don't want to water with a liquid fertilizer, but you could side dress with a handful of slow release organic fertilizer.
When you spray, do it early in the morning before the sun gets too high.

Organic side dressings could be:
Alfalfa Meal (2~7~0)
Bone Meal (3~2~0.5) 24% Calcium
Blood Meal (13~2~0)

We've had some posts here on different things to do for peppers, like a banana on the bottom of hole when you plant peppers....
I looked for the info but can't find it, Nikkal had posted it....
Maybe Karen or Jiffy can find it for me!!!

Also, sometimes when it rains alot it can drain thru the soil, and leaching the soil of nutrients when pours thru the soil...Does that make sense, when the water goes thru so does the stuff you put in the soil or is in the soil already...
