My daughter-in-law found a gentleman, on freecycle.org offering his persimmons if we were willing to come pick them. What a perfect, post-Thanksgiving activity.

As for our total harvested, we had way more than a peck's worth. Just how much fruit is in a peck? A peck is an imperial and United States customary unit of dry volume, equivalent to 2 gallons or 8 dry quarts or 16 dry pints. So a half peck is equivalent to 1 gallon, or small bag of apples. We picked 118 persimmons which equates to a few pecks of yum, indeed! Fun stuff.
