Whole Mess o' Pickles

This weekend I hope to do some bread and butter pickles with the super fat yellow cucumbers I've just picked from the garden. We just had a big rain, so they just ballooned, almost overnight. One is the size of one of those tall beer cans!
Here is my mother's green tomato crop, in pickle form:


So far we have:
4 pints sour dill cucumbers
6 pints spicy sour green tomatoes (extra salt)
3 pints spicy sour green tomatoes (regular)
3 pints sweet green tomatoes and onions
1 pint sweet brine yellow cucumbers

I just want to let you know, I love ALL THINGS PICKLED. I just signed up for a CSA, and I plan to pickle many things. Any recipe advice? I have never done it before.
