Went to plant a peach 🍑 seed today and discovered the last seed I planted in the same pot. That one didn’t take 😔

I’m pretty sure I am supposed to get the pit from inside the shell but I don’t want to slice myself on the process of opening it.

Put seed in a ziplock bag, standing on its edge, and tap with a hammer. Pit will split along the seam. Be gentle so as not to split the seed.

That’s the first thing I did and smashed it to bits 😆

You don't have to but can use pliers or a nutcracker to open the shell and get the kernal out. Just don't damage it.

What you are missing is cold. Wrap it in a moist paper towel inside a zip lock bag. It needs to be 30s F for 10 weeks or so until it gets a root sprout before planting

Came to ask if it had been through a winter yet. All natural seeds WILL germinate if their specific needs of temp (soil, not air) , moisture, light or darkness, etc. it’s all encoded within that tiny miracle.
