Just ate two peaches and saved the pits.
Anyone know what to do next?

Well, if you're looking to grow them (which I assume you are), you can plant them like that or crack them open to reveal the almond-like seed inside. I believe they need a fairly long cold period to germinate.

I learned this information from this video. I reccomend you watch it, it might help you.

I bury them in my garden and they come up the next spring.

Thanks.
He says, for the stratification process, to put them in a bag of soil and put them into the fridge for 3 months.

Maybe I’ll try that.

Is now a good time to bury them? How deep?
Do you recommend taking the skin of the actual almond-like seeds? Or do you just keep the stone in tact all together?

Yes. I bury the stone as is about 2" to 4" deep.

Amazingly enough I have one that has survived through 5 winters and is a bush about 6' tall now.

Wow.
Do you generally bring them inside before winter?

No, if a peach tree can't survive the winter here, I have no use for it.

I suppose I can put it in the greenhouse for the winter.

Depending on where your peaches came from they may survive your winters. I believe there are several varieties that are said to be good to zone 4.

The peaches that get sold here typically come from trees grown in Colorado and have a much better chance of surviving here than do peaches that are grown in Georgia.
