Hello! I just started a new raised bed this year and planted a bunch of pepper plants in it that I had started from seed. I put about 5 or 6 bags of good compost into the soil with some composted cow manure. For the most part these are all cayenne and sweet pepper plants. But sadly after a few weeks they turned yellow. VERY yellow, so I started putting coffee and epson salt dusting on them every week and that has greened them up a bit. But then it seems like some of them are stunted and still somewhat yellow? Am I doing something wrong? I thought maybe some needed more sun so I dug up two and put in pots for even more sun, but I can't dig up the whole row.

The bottom one is the very stunted one

I hope you can tell how yellow the bottom one is to the other one.

Here's where they are in the garden, behind the eggplants. They get about 10 hrsish sun and I tried to space them where they get morning sun too but sadly the tomatoes/squash have taken over the world.
Have a black thumb except for vegetables and that's even a hit or miss
