These little peach seeds went into pots this week. 🍑
Some seeds, like peaches, need a period of cold temperatures to mimic winter before they'll sprout. This process is called stratification. I kept these in the fridge for a few months and when I checked on them, most had already started to germinate.
They're a cold hardy selection that can handle Wisconsin winters, so if all goes well, in 3 to 5 years we might have some local peaches to offer along with a few peach trees for sale.
Now I just have to figure out how to keep the chipmunks from beating me to them. 🐿️🌱
