How soon after making something can you "can" it in a water bath or pressure canner? Does it have to be right away?

I think you should can right away, unless you're doing refrigerator pickles. Dill pickles take at least two weeks to really get good. Can't remember on sweet pickles.

That is what i thought, I had to get bigger jars (quart instead of pint) from my neighbor yesterday and they were too big for my pot. If i get cukes again in 2 weeks, I will borrow his bigger pot or pressure canner and be better prepared.
