I don't have any particular online tutorials to recommend, but I bet you could find some good ones at Crochet Pattern Central, which is a great clearing-house for all sorts of crochet information. You can start there, and then if you have a local yarn or crafts store, they might have a knitting/crocheting group that meets once a week or so, and you can find someone there to give you pointers.

I have been thinking about doing a fruit CSA next summer. I am just terrible about eating vegetables, and I would probably mostly let them rot. I'm not an adventurous eater at ALL.

That is a GREAT website. Cool. Someday, when I have actual space to do woodworking I'd like to make some of my own stuff. :)
