1. **Select Fresh Seeds**: Start with fresh, ripe peaches. Remove the pit and wash it thoroughly to eliminate any fruit residue.
2. **Stratify the Seeds**: Place the cleaned seeds in a damp paper towel, seal them in a plastic bag, and refrigerate for about 10-12 weeks to mimic winter conditions.
3. **Prepare for Planting**: After stratification, plant the seeds in pots filled with well-draining soil, about 1-2 inches deep.
4. **Provide the Right Environment**: Water the seeds gently and place them in a warm, sunny spot. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.
5. **Transplanting**: Once the seedlings have grown a few inches tall and have several leaves, transplant them to larger pots or directly into your garden.
