It wasn't raining this morning, so I went and foraged for a peck (how big is a peck?) of plums. Highly dangerous, due to the sloppy cowpats and rotting windfalls underfoot and the constant rain of little yellow "plums" from above. The haul:
1/4 of a bushel, so you could perhaps hide a very small lamp under one. (More usefully, two gallons, about 9 litres: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peck)
How large is a peck?
