As the spring gardening fever starts to heat up, consider VeggieTrader, a website for produce lovers eager to sell or swap their home-grown veggies and fruits. Post what you want to shed (too much rhubarb), or what you want more of (not enough spring peas), then wait to see whether kitchen bliss awaits. Want more than just produce? Check out Ooh.com, a free online noticeboard for folks promoting classes, trips, events, and the like, classified by category and region. Under "Food & Drink" in the U.S. section, for example, entrepreneurs have posted a cheesemaking class, a tea-tasting class, and a wine tour.
