We are just puting our cabbage from the garden in canning jars to ferment. Is this all I have to do to make saurekraut?
 
I never made sauerkrauts myself, however the subject has been discussed here more than a few times. Here is a list of some of the related threads, browse around and hopefully you will find some useful informations!!
 
If you mean you are canning the cabbage, and I assume heating it, it will certainly not ferment.

Don't fully understand what you propose to do.

A bit more of an explanation of what you intend to do would be helpful for the many folks here, whom I am sure, make sauerkraut.
 
I have never made sauerkraut using this method myself, but you will need to add salt to the cabbage. I always use a crock to ferment my kraut, then can it when fermentation is complete. My recipe calls for 6 tablespoons of pickling salt to 10 pounds of shredded cabbage.

I Googled "making sauerkraut" and found this link for making it in jars:
