Ha!

I'll can half as many pickles next year, or better yet, have half of the pickles from this year left over for next year so that I won't have to can any pickles at all.

You're an inspiration!!
I have a few potted herbs in my house. Can't gather a few leaves without cat hair and dust. -_-
Also, the basil, oregano, parsley, and cilantro are surprisingly short-lived even indoors.
Growing my own salad greens would be great. If anything would grow for me (and thrive, or at least, stay alive!).
