Gardening tasks are similar everywhere but the timing is different. These gardening tips
are written for the Willamette Valley which has an unusual climate. Summers and winters
are mild and the seasons change a month later because of the influence of the Pacific Ocean.
The Pacific Northwest is blessed with an abundance of plants that grow well in this mild climate. It is possible to have plants
blooming in your yard every month of the year. These lists will help you find plants that will bloom each season of the year. The
plants are listed by size so you can pick plants that fit into your landscape. Only those plants that are usually available in Pacific
Northwest nurseries and garden centers have been included.
This plant list was made for Portland, Oregon, which is in USDA Hardiness Zone 7 and Sunset Western Climate Zone 6. All plants
in this list are hardy to at least 5-10 degrees. Some are hardy to 30 degrees below zero. For areas outside the Pacific Northwest,
find your hardiness zone on the
USDA Hardiness Zones Map In the
plant lists, the number that follows the Scientific name is the coldest USDA Hardiness Zone in which the plant will survive.
Rod accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior in 1973. He read the Bible straight through from Genesis to Revelation seven times before he attended Ozark Bible College. He has taught Sunday School since 1985 and is Director of Children's Ministries at his church.
The entire Bible can be read in less than one year by reading three chapters a day plus one chapter from Psalms or Proverbs. For an accurate translation that is easy to read, I recommend the New International Version.
