In Maine, where it seems to have rained constantly since almost the beginning of June (with the exception, curiously enough, of Wednesdays), St Swithin's had better be fair. The apples have had sufficient blessing to last till harvest and our waterlogged gardens could use a respite. I love all this information, old folk tales that contain so much wisdom. Thank you, Fiona!
I pickled my first batch this week and used them with braised artichokes. And with the torrential rain this last few days, I’ll forage again on Monday.
Definitely the crock of gold at the rainbow’s end - and a very good lining for any stomach

Thank you for such a lovely comment, Nancy. It is raining today in Scotland....

I threw some lovage in chanterelle soup last week. An excellent combination.I must try artichokes. Thank you for the suggestion.
