How did Peter Piper pick pickled peppers?

Were the peppers already pickled on the plant somehow? Is there a type of pepper called pickled peppers? What is a peck anyway?

A peck is (was) a unit of measure, oddly. Same with a bushel. I know because my Grandma used to say "a bushel and a peck, and a squeeze around the neck!" to me when I was young. I had to ask her too.

how many cubic football fields is that for the rest of us

Imperial or metric football? I'm not great with converting units of measure.... So maybe 2?
