1. Subscribe to Get Growing with NZ Gardener
If you’re a budding vegetable gardener, I can’t think of a better way to learn the ins and outs of all aspects of gardening than supplementing your growing with a bit of knowledge from NZ Gardener. Their weekly “Get Growing with NZ Gardener” newsletter has lots of tips about pests and problems with growing fruit and vegetables, what to plant now and a questions and answers section.

2.Take the “Food Hospital” Quiz
Do you think you know lots about diet and well being? Take the quiz and see if you can separate food fact from fiction. It’s a fun and interactive quiz, and the results might just surprise you.
3.Visit the US blog “Food Politics”
Don’t be put off by the word “politics”. This is a very interesting blog written by Professor Marion Nestle who is a nutritionist at New York University. She posts lots of interesting bits and pieces including how lobby groups and the food industry affect nutrition. Her most recent post as of today is about how due to pressure from lobbiests, pizza is able to be classified as a vegetable in the US! Click here to read how.
4. Make fruit filled ice cubes
