Going back to St. Swithin's just found this ... hadn't heard it before:
Apples and St. Swithuns
"St Swithin is christening the apples"
Brand, Popular Antiquities, 1813, i, 342
 There is an old saying when it rains on St. Swithin's Day, it is the Saint christening the apples.
Apple growers ask St. Swithin for his blessing each year because they believe:
- Rain on St. Swithin's day 'blesses and christens the apples'.
- No apple should picked or eaten before July 15th.
- Apples still growing at St Swithin's day will ripen fully.
