Peaches and nectarines for free

Remember we got the seeds from the fruits some time ago, cause it could be fun as well as it could be great to harvest our own fresh fruit. I cleaned them and put them in water, and now I have just rinsed the stones again.

So it's time for planting, quite easy really. It's big stones, I'm going to plant, so I use one pot for each stone.
Now we just wait and see, if we are lucky and something starts to grow.
If so, well have our own nectarine and peach plants for free. There's nothing boring about self sufficiency. The bigger your imagination, the better ideas.

Make your own Nectarines and Peaches

Many people see the nectarines and the peaches as the same fruit, no wonder, since they are so much alike.
There's a difference though. Take a look at the picture.
The Nectarine is to the left.
It has a shiny surface, and feels smooth on the surface.
On the right we have the peach. It feels more like welvet in the hands, like it has itsy bitsy tiny hair.
We want to enjoy eating them, and then planting the stone inside.



The most easy way to get to the core, is to put your knife through the fruit until you feel the stone, then cut around the stone by rolling your knife around the fruit.








Twist the 2 parts, one will easily let go of the meat, and we got 2 parts, one with the stone attached.
As you see at the picture, the first try was unsuccessful, I've actually never seen a bad stone before. 








But the second one is great. We remove the stone and put it in a glass of water over night (not necessary, but I have other plants right now)
