so i tried my hand at starting corn in seed pods and they've sprouted like crazy and look like they're ready to plant into the area i've set aside for them. thing is...in my area of new jersey, its been raining and storming off and on for weeks and the whole week ahead is forecast for more. i've read how rain has slowed crops this year but i can't find information on transplanting already sprouted plants with this wet forecast coming. does anyone have advice?

good morning! i'm so happy to have found this site! i'm a new gardener in southern NJ and want to learn...EVERYTHING! i have all sorts of fun veggies (and canteloup) sprouting, and my cucumbers are growing like wildfire. great for salads, they're also great for pickles. i would like to begin also canning veggies...the problem is salt.

i know that most canned veggies and pickles are packed in a liquid that can be very salty. does anyone have advice or recipes for pickling and canning with little or no salt?

thank you!!
