DIY Natural Dyes
Ever thought of turning your trash into treasure? Peach pits can create a beautiful, warm pink hue when boiled and used as a natural dye. Bonus: You can also use the peach flesh for a lovely orange shade. Just remember, the longer you leave your fabric in the dye, the darker the color will be. Patience, grasshopper!
Seed Starting
If you're feeling green-fingered, you can plant those pits and grow new peach trees! Here's the secret: they need a cold, moist environment to mimic winter. Pop them in the fridge for a few weeks, then plant them in soil and keep them moist. Et voilà! You're on your way to having your own peach orchard. Just don't expect fruit for a few years, okay?
