Continuing our building of our window garden, we cut five feet of the plastic clear tubing and we cut two one inch long plastic tubes for the adapter tubes.  We inserted the air needles into the one inch long plastic tubes an we used a hot glue gun to seal where the needles were inserted.  Then in order to keep everything sealed together, we covered the tubes with plumbers tape.  We cut two slits on the the five foot long plastic tube and, after checking to make sure that air was indeed coming out of the air needles, inserted the needles into the plastic tube.

In order to grow successful and healthy snow peas, we need to build a window garden in which we can grow them.  To begin our building process, we took six large water bottles and cut two holes in them.  One in the bottom and a larger one on the side.  The hole in the bottom is used to stack the water bottles and to ensure that the water drips down from one plant into the plant below it.  The larger hole on the side of the water bottle is there to insert the plant into.
