Why did Mike point his antenna to Milwaukee? You’ll have to listen to this week’s GardenFork Radio to find out. Tyler , CEO of Allison House, joins us. Then we talk about Facebook Privacy, pole beans and peas, sink toilets, insect attractant plants, canning and applesauce, apple butter, and Carbon Monoxide detectors.
I met Daniel Delaney when he was first starting to produce Vendr.TV, his street food video show which has become super popular. Daniel and I get together weekly to talk about stuff, and he always is generous with his knowledge of the web and social media, and has helped me greatly in making GardenFork.TV better.

Now Daniel is launching a new video show, The Hungry Pedaler, and to fund the first season, he is raising funds on Kickstarter. Today Mike and I talk to Daniel about his new show, how one can use Kickstarter, and watering plants on your balcony in Brooklyn.
It wasn’t very long before Indiana rose up to defend itself against the comments made on GardenFork Radio. Listen as co-host Mike tries desperately to distance himself from Eric’s penchant for talking before thinking. And we learn how to buy a sailboat cheap.
Eric got the great idea of using a mason jar metal ring for poaching eggs from Elise of Simply Recipes
We talk about podcasts we like, here is Eric’s list
I got an email from Aimee, one of the hosts of Reeltasty, a supper club in Brooklyn, inviting me to come to one of their dinners. I have not attended yet, but I did get Aimee and her dinner partner Jason on Skype for a GardenFork Radio interview on their version of how to host a supper club. ( we woke up jason on an early saturday morning ) You can check out their dinner and a movie supper club in Brooklyn here
Painting apartments and cars start off this week’s GardenFork Radio show with Eric Rochow and Mike. Then we digress into the 11 Best Foods to Eat, according to the NY Times.

And of course, Viewer Mail.
Mike and Eric talked about the recent electrical storms in the midwest and that brought up the idea of ringing up our resident weather expert Tyler, ( CEO of Allison House, sponsor of Gardenfork.TV ). We found Tyler at a remote location and had a skype conference call, and talked about lightning.

From NOAA.GOV: The picture that Tyler was referring to:
Do you know what to do if you are caught in the open during a thunderstorm or you feel tingling or your hair standing on end? Lightning causes around 100 deaths in the U.S annually (more than hurricanes and tornadoes combined). In the picture above, the young woman and her friends were severely injured by lightning just a few seconds after this picture was taken. Notice that no rain was falling, clearly illustrating that lightning can strike up to several miles away from the thunderstorm.
Images above: Sprites over thunderstorms in Kansas on August 10, 2000, observed in the mesosphere, with an altitude of 50-90 kilometers as a response to powerful lightning discharges from tropospheric thunderstorms. The true color of sprites is pink-red. Click on images to enlarge. Credit: Walter Lyons, FMA Research, Fort Collins, Colorado
