The orchard survey was intended to produce one total before the fruit was sold. I had expected a slow but simple walk along the rows. Instead, the upper branches overlapped, so pears hanging in the centre could not be seen from either path. The paper map still used the row numbers from before two rows were replanted, while the metal labels beside those trees showed the newer sequence. Picking also continued during the survey. By the time the second counting pair reached the western rows, several baskets had already been taken to the shed and emptied into crates that were not labelled by row. We compared our notes afterwards, but not every uncertainty could be resolved.
