He picked a peck of pickled peppers...How in the world do you grow pickled peppers? I have never eaten peppers that are pickled, and not sure if they were pickled before they were picked or pickled after.
I picked peppers like Peter Piper, but I didn't pick a peck. My peppers aren't pickled or am I thinking of pickling them. I just picked them because they were ready to be pecked by pests.
I am now pondering if Peter Piper picked a peck of pickles, and called them peppers, but you can't pick a pickle or at least one that has been pickled~
Here are some peppers that I picked...
Not pickled
What do you think...Peter Piper would be so proud of my peppers?

Nice peppers! I always wondered how Peter could have picked already pickled peppers. Seems hard to do:

And an entire peck?
"A peck is an imperial and U.S. customary unit of dry volume, equivalent in each of these systems to 8 dry quarts, or 16 dry pints. Two pecks make a kenning (obsolete), and four pecks make a bushel."
So, if I understand this, a peck would be 1/4 of a bushel. That's a lot of pickled peppers picked!
GA...I could pick a peck of pears because I have more pears than peppers, but they aren't ready to be picked.
