I would love to see what folks are harvesting, especially photos!
So far in my yard, it's been a few plums. Mainly Methley, most of the other Asian plums did not set much this year. They are delicious. We also got cherries, I forgot to post them
Methley Plums 2016
Montmorency Cherries
Cherries from a volunteer tree, sour but good flavor for pie
I appreciate everyone taking the time to post about their harvest. I like seeing how our local area performs.
@ Daniel, How did the Bella di Guigno pears taste?
I am curious if early pears are similar to early apples in that they are not that tasty. Can anyone recommend good early pears?
@Larry, of your harvested berries which was your favorite? What did you think about the Triple Crown?
Triple Crown has the best combination of size, production, and flavor, although I prefer other blackberry varieties in baked goods. I was able to sample some Columbia Star at the Caneberry Field Day last month and I recommend them.
Black raspberry is my favorite flavor; Logan is the only red fruited caneberry that grows on this lot, several red raspberry plantings have rotted out over the years.
Bella do Guigno might be a little mealy like the early apples. I figure I don't need a whole tree of Bartlet ripening at once and prefer to have sequential ripening fruit to spread the harvest out for fresh fruit for a longer season.
My Avalon Pride peach tree was ready to pick this week too. Frost tree is over a month from being ready.
Larry, I would have loved to go to the caneberry event, but didn't have the time.
I got my first dozen or so berries from my Columbia Star this year, my daughter ate most of them. I'm very happy with it. The berries look a lot like your thornless Logan, although darker. They are long and cylindrical like that.
They are tender, but reasonably firm and hold together. They seem to have few or small seeds, barely noticeable. I prefer the flavor to most I've had. I have 2 rows that are 10 or 12 feet long each. One is up on a trellis and the other sprawling on the ground.
Daniel, Japanese plums didn't set well for me this year. I have a dozen or so of AU producer that look a lot like your Methley, skin is a little darker.
We've just finished enjoying our first decent production of Captivator gooseberries. My daughter and I really liked them, the pulp is very sweet and the skin is very tart. Nice combination. My wife won't eat them.
Before that we had 2 or 3 weeks of black currants. My daughter and I eat them fresh. We all eat the jam, although not enough to can yet.
Hopefully the rains will let up so that some of the European plums don't crack.
Jafar, you have got the jump on me with Columbia Star, easily the best blackberry at Caneberry Day (Ag station near Charbonneau 29June). I will be getting some plants from Raintree late winter unless you know of a closer source. The fruit is significantly larger than Logan or Marion.
Larry,
Mine are from Raintree. They were small, but established and grew well. Eventually I'll have tip-rooted more plants available. The fruit this year are from the spindly canes that came up from the plants that I got spring of 2015. The primocanes this year are much thicker.
Like Jafar, most Japanese plums set poorly, except for Shiro. BIg crop.
Tons of thornless blackberries. I haven't segregated them, so I forget which is which.
Tons of Himalayan honeysuckle berries. Very flavorful.
Black currant, red currant, Jostaberry.
Tons of Noir de Spain black mulberries.
Cactus fruit and pads.
SOme musk strawberries.
Goumis are done.
No apples or pears yet.

Thanks all for the photos and info!
Like others here, my Asian plums did not set well. I thought that might hapoen with the early bloom during what turned into chilly wet weather.
I expect some fruits do well some years and others in other years, which is a reason to plant and graft a lot of diversity.
Shiro gave me a coupke of bowls full. Hollywood only a couple of plums. Looking forward to the best fig crop in years, none ripe yet.
This year I planted one Columbia Star blackberry, 6 Prime Ark Freedon, and 3 Ebony King. Deer ate the most lush growth on Ebony King and rabbits ate the tops of a couple of the Prime Ark. The local Himalayan blackberrieshave just started bearing.
I don't have quite the variety of fruit many of you seem to have, and my big crops (Asian pears, apples, and this year pears) are harvested in the fall. I had to cut down my Q-18 peach tree since it succumbed to bacterial canker. I have harvested the early summer Amity raspberries and now the later summer berries are coming in. They are nice and big though I have to protect them with my little mesh bags to protect them from SWD. The blueberries (Duke and Bluecrop) are also ripening now. They are under their protective cloaks to protect them from SWD.
Today I harvested about a full basket of the Amity berries. This photo is from a couple of days ago.
Redberry, what are you using for cloaks?
Last year I lost my Oregon Curl Free peach to canker, and my Toka plum had a lot of canker this spring but now seems a bit better. I don't know if that's the beginning of the end for that tree. I have a new Mary Jane peach that had some canker but now seems to have come through and growing rapidly.
Here are my first Q-1-8 / Salish peaches. The tree is in its 3rd leaf. About a dozen peaches.
It's a good time of year. Mulberries are almost done. Illinois Everbearing Mullberry. That tree does not seem to be bothered by much of anything. Birds eat a few but leave lots for us. No diseases, and deer don't eat the leaves either. I did protect the trunk from voles, don't know if that was needed.
Figs are coming in a bowl full per day. I love fresh figs. These are Lattarula and Petite negri. The PN has only a few brebas, the Lattarula has lots and lots.
Jafar, it's a juicy, light peach. Not the best I've had, but at the moment it's the only one I have. Maybe I let them get over-ripe.
ALso found some Hollywood plums. I thought there were none. The leaves are the same color as the fruit. That also deters birds. Deer still like eating the tree so it needs protection from them. The plums have a great plum flavor and crisp juiciness, not watery like Shiro.
Hollywood Plums 6.21.16
My Lattarula got watered heavily three times two weeks ago in the course of vengeful hose washing black aphid hordes, ravaging the stems of understory alliums, and so, a little disappointingly are a bit watery in flavor this year.
(working on how to get phone generated photos, information size, to reliably fit forum parameters.)
I just picked all of my black Aronia berries (red Aronia ripens in the fall).
I dried a bunch of them, which seems to have sweetened them a bit. I froze the rest.
I picked the last of the Tayberries, marionberries, and raspberries. I'll pick all of my black currants tonight.
I have been eating my "Black Friar" plums.
We had some family over and they were trying all the above. They really liked the tayberries, and asked if they are available in stores. I have never seen them for sale, nor heard of anyone growing them commercially. Anyone know why?

Dave, what variety of black currants do you have? Mine have been all harvested or eaten by vermin for weeks now. I saw at Camas produce that they had some for sale that they said were from a local source. My daughter and I love eating the ripe ones fresh.
What do you do with the Aronia berries? Ours are getting sweeter by the day and losing much of the astringency, but are still too astringent for what most people would choose to eat fresh.
I use window screen material (mosquito) and Reemay material for my "invisibility" cloaks for my blueberries. The window screen is nicer b/c I can have some view of the blueberries. When my bluecrop bush got too big, I switched to the Reemay material b/c I had a lot of it. However, it has gotten some small tears and some creature pawed through it earlier in the season which made even bigger holes.. I use supports to hold it up off of the bushes and clothespins to keep it closed.
Photos: Duke under windscreen; Bluecrop inside Reemay. The exterior photo of the Bluecrop under its cloak ended up sideways so hard to view.
Q1-8 peaches: yes, I thought they were a light-flavoured peach but I liked them. 🙂 I have one seedling that I started from seed earlier this year. I'm hoping that if I have a peach that can resprout from its rootstock, I can keep it going a bit longer......

Here is my one and only Sweet Treat Pluerry. The tree is in its second leaf, so I can't complain about at least getting a taste. It's a very ugly tree. The leaves look like it has leaf curl. That was true last year too. They also have holes. It does not have canker, so there's that. So far. On the good side, it's vigorous, so I may be able to remove the deer cage next year. Deer cages are a hassle, and make maintenance more challenging.
As for the fruit, I may have harvested a little early. I don't know how firm they should be. It was crisp, sweet, and had a fruit coctail flavor. Didn't taste like plum or cherry. I could not tell if there were aspects of peach or apricot, which are also in this fruit's heritage.
Semi-clingstone.
...what am I harvesting..? Nuttin 
And since I don’t have a simple way to take an electronic photo, you’re not missing a thing!
I’m starting over.. There are some Concorde grapes developing on a plant I’ve started, though I’d plucked the flower clusters off the neighboring Himrod grape…
Was eating what I’d call wild ‘Blackcaps’ for the last month, though Virginian’s call them ‘raspberries’ around here. The neighbor’s Transparent apples are falling ..nearly as fast as the deer can eat them…
Back home, or Portland, Mom’s Desert King figs are fat & sweet, or so I’m told 
Some day, I’d expect to be dining on Ozark Premier plums about now ..with a new tree in this year. Otherwise, your shots of the orbs of Eden are torturously inspiring ~
