Online timer for 105 minutes

You are heading back between the kiwifruit vines near Te Puke for a second 105 minutes, with the first picking stretch already in your arms and shoulders. This round may feel different as bins fill, fruit becomes harder to reach, and voices, tractors, or rustling leaves make the orchard busier around you.

Starting the countdown again gives this picking session its own clear boundary rather than letting it blur into the earlier one. The duration can be changed directly on the page if damp fruit slows careful handling, a row is nearly finished, or the next bin is closer than expected. Adjusting the remaining time keeps the countdown matched to the work actually in front of you.

Before moving deep into another row, place the phone where the finishing sound will not be buried under machinery or conversation, while keeping it protected from fruit, dust, and sudden Bay of Plenty rain. If the orchard is especially noisy, check the display when a bin is filled or when you change rows. Those natural pauses reduce the chance of continuing well beyond the intended finish.

Common questions

What could make the second kiwifruit-picking window finish earlier than planned?

A partly cleared row, nearby empty bins, or easier-to-reach fruit can shorten the session. The remaining time can be reduced on the page to reflect the orchard work left.

What if wet conditions make the Te Puke picking session run longer?

Damp fruit and slippery ground can slow movement between vines. Extra time can be added on the page, with the phone kept somewhere its finishing sound remains audible.
