Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
Things You'll Need:
- Dried peach pit
- Potting Soil
- Clay flower pot
- Hammer
-
Step 1
Buy and eat your favorite peach, thats the best part. Remove the peach pit and set aside to dry in a sunny window. Do not put outside because birds and squrrils love to eat them. Let it dry for two to three weeks.
-
Step 2
Prepare the clay pot by putting any good potting soil in it. Fill it with soil 3/4 of the way to the top. This leaves room for water and adding more soil later when your plant starts to grow.
-
Step 3
Take the peach pit outside to your patio or driveway and use the hammer to lighty tap it untill it cracks open. Remove the seed. Make a whole in the middle of your soil about the depth of the first joint of your finger. Place seed in it and cover with soil. Water it! Keep the soil moist. Place the pot in a sunny location. And be patience.

on 8/13/2009 My mother in law could do that to , but she lived in Tenneessee where you can grow almost anything. I live in hot dry Texas. So planting the seeds in a pot and keeping it moist is a must. I envy those that can throw a seed on the ground and not worry about it.

on 7/31/2009 My mother used plant peach trees from pits all the time. She just buried them all in a hole in the yard and took what came up.
