Apparently there is an answer:
"A peck is 1/4 of a bushel. In dry measure it is 8 quarts. So when Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, exactly how many peppers did Peter Piper pick? It would depend on the type of pepper, so the answer would be somewhere between 10 to 14 pounds." (https://lespetitesgourmettes.com/)
That is a lot of peppers. We did not pick nearly as many - just a bowlful. But we do plan on pickling them!
On the other hand, I might have picked a peck of green tomatoes off our dying tomato plants. I should have weighed them!
