We are based mostly on the seasons in how we put together upcoming issues.  There has never been a shortage of new and interesting subjects, and people just keep coming up with new stuff on their own.  In case you are the type that needs a little guidance, here are some basics:

January/February (deadline Nov.15) issues tend to focus on crafting with dried botanicals, soaping or body care, staying healthy through the bad weather, and the new "herb of the year".  This year is Calendula.

March/April (deadline Jan 15)we start thinking about what we'll be planting in a couple of months, wildcrafting goes into full swing, crafts are most welcome, and there are those allergy issues to discuss...

May/June (deadline March 15) AND July/August (deadline  May 15)are both full of recipes and crafts using all the stuff that's growing outside.  There's wildcrafting to do and new plants to discuss.  Body care and garden crafts are of interest too.

September/October (deadline July 15)is the harvest issue.  We're drying our bounty and finding ways to preserve it for the winter.  Lots of crafts and recipes.

November/December (deadline Sept 15)is another issue full of recipes and crafts - especially things that we can make and share with our loved ones as gifts.

Length of articles is anywhere from 1/2 page to 4 pages.
