WELL, NOT IN BIG BUNCHES.   But, just to prove a point,  we really do have a few banana and orange trees growing around town.  And they grow alongside the palm trees  And everybody knows our daffodils bloom in January and almost all of AMERICA'S EASTER LILIES grow here, along with really beautiful roses and rhodies and azaleas and fuchsias and all kinds of other plants that really ought to be growing in Hawaii or someplace like that.  So if Oregon has such a thing as a "Banana Belt", Brookings-Harbor is definitely in the heart of it. THIS IS NOT TO SAY WE DON'T GET RAIN HERE.  In fact, some of the locals swear that Mother Nature uses the Oregon south coast as a testing ground for Pacific storms.  But we rarely get that day-after-day-after-day of gloomy, drizzly, weather that so much of the Pacific Northwest is known for.  I mean when it rains here, it normally gets with the program and gets it over with.  So as not to spoil our tourist season, it politely rains only in the winter and usually the storms last for two or three days at a time.  (Please notice I said "usually".) JUNE IN JANUARY.   In between the rains, the weather is simply beautiful!  The sun comes out and warms us into the 60's and 70's (even into the 80 degree range once in a while in January or February).  The sky is blue without even a trace of smog.  We pick spring flowers right after Christmas and we can have a picnic during any month of the year. IS IT BROOKINGS OR HARBOR...WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?  Actually, that can be a bit confusing.  There is really one incorporated city here known as "Brookings".  Then, from the Chetco River to the California line, there is another community known as "Harbor".  Harbor is not incorporated but it does have its own water and sewer districts.  About 6200 people live within the Brookings city limits while in the entire Brookings-Harbor area, there are approximately 15,000 or so. The community called "Harbor" should not be confused with our regular boat harbor which is at the mouth of the Chetco River.  By the way, according to a whole bunch of smart people, our harbor is one of the safest small craft harbors on the coast!  How about that?
