Any idea why my bell pepper plant isn't growing?

[BoyMama2010]

It doesn't look much taller than when it was planted at the beginning of June. It made one white flower which didn't open all the way before it died. I am very much a novice gardener, but I have grown a pepper plant before that got pretty big (enough to need support) and produced 10-12 decent sized peppers. Not sure what I've done wrong here. I have a jalapeno plant on the other side of the bed that looks pretty much the same.

Not being there and feeling the soil I would say the problem is watering too often. I say this because of the blotchy and curled leaves

I suspected that might be it. We had several nights in a row of thunderstorms and when it doesn't rain I have been watering maybe every 2nd or 3rd day. Do you think if I cut back on watering it will recover?

It will start to have healthy new growth but normally once a plant is water logged the affected leaves stay affected.
