Don't despair, I've had that "look" before, too. Cubanelle's are very hardy and will grow new richly colored green leaves at every junction as they recover from transplanting, but still - should be protected from frost, they hate to be cold. Don't know your hardiness zone, so it's hard to advise you specifically about planting date in your area.
When I plant my peppers, I rototill, rake in fertilizer, roll out 3 ft wide 4 mil black plastic over top the row & tuck in the edges, score an "x" in the plastic and plant my peppers after all danger of frost is gone. Soil temperature should be at least 60 degrees. The black plastic maintains moisture, heats up the soil and controls weeds.
The cubanelle's have a thick leaf canopy and when planted in a 12" between-plant spacing, creates a wonderful green hedge in your garden at maturity. I leave my cubanelle peppers until they turn red and vibrantly sweet. This rich flavor is wonderful in soups, stews, sauces, frozen - or dried and used as a seasoning rub. At season end - don't let your fruit get frosted, they'll be lost.
Have a wonderful growing season ! Oh...and
