Any advice on cracking / sowing peach seeds?

I’ve dried them and plan on putting them in water for a few days then soil. I can’t get the shell off yet though.

You might need to let it get a little dryer, unless you’ve already let it sit for over a week already then it’s possible it’s getting too dry.. I would suggest piercing it at the tip with a sharp knife to crack a hole into it, then use the nut crackers to get the pit off.
