Congratulations on your new endeavor - it was always rewarding to me to see the jars all lined up knowing that I could eat the "fruits of my labor" all winter long. My advice is to get the Ball Canning Book, which I believe is still readily available. Also consult your pressure canner instructions, and their recommendations. Some vegetables only need a water bath, and others the pressure canner, so get the Ball book and you will be successful. I don't have a garden now, but when I did I enjoyed the process, as it brought back memories of home and my Mom canning for us. Good luck.
