What are some common fruits and veggies in France?

I'm writing, and I've hit a rut. This part of my story takes place back in the middle ages in Burgundy, France. What were/are some common produce from there (it would be summer). Also, if you know, what are some traditional treats from the same area/country?

Check out this link. Although it is about UK it mentions the Normans (from Normandy, France) who invaded Britain.

Growing a Gorgeous Garden in the Dallas/Fort Worth Area

Your backyard is a great place to not only develop a gorgeous landscape, but to be environmentally friendly as well. Picking plants and a method of watering that is eco-friendly not only helps the environment, but is better for your wallet as well. There are several things to consider when planning your yard in the Dallas/Fort Worth region.

The special soil and weather considerations in this part of Texas make planning necessary for your yard to be the best it can be. Yes, you can have a stunning, flowering landscape despite the heat and dryness of the region, but you need to think about a few things first. The first consideration is that some of the plants that are popular in other parts of the country simply will not work in North Texas. Plants that need a mild, cool, wet climate won’t thrive in this area. There are plenty of plants, however, that will do very well. You best bet is to pick plants that are native to North Texas. These plants will make your work much easier, because they are already adapted to the unique climate of the area. Native plants need less water, have better colors, and will do just fine in the specific considerations of planting in Texas. When seeding your lawn, pick something that is drought resistant and will be okay for several days without watering. This is called a drought-resistant variety and can be found at a local home improvement store. 

Plants that Thrive in the Dallas/Fort Worth Area

Many plants find the Dallas/Fort Worth area ideal conditions. The key is to pick these plants that will do well. Bee Balm is a good example. This is a flowering plant that will attract bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies to your yard. A local nursery is also a great resource for getting recommendations on native plants that will do well. Consider adding fruit trees and other native plants that come in a variety of colors such as white, pink, lavender and burgundy. Another good option to consider is to plant daylilies. These are tall, strong plants that typically only bloom for part of the day. They have six petals and come in a variety of colors as well. 

How to Water Plants Effectively in North Texas

Some watering strategies put a drain on your wallet as well as on the environment. It is more than possible to have a flourishing garden and not use an excessive amount of water to keep your lawn looking great. Some tips to conserve water (and money) are to consider some of the other available methods of watering a yard. One great example is to consider a drip irrigation system. These systems are best if you have a big garden with plants such as fruit trees that need a steady supply of water. Using a watering by hand method such as a garden hose, a sprinkler, or a watering can is a waste of water because so much of the water is lost to evaporation, and your plants simply won’t respond to this method as well as they would to other ways of dispensing water. Using a drip irrigation system, you will not only save on water, but your will never have to worry about overwatering. 

Another example of both a budget friendly and eco-friendly method of watering is to collect rain water. You can make your own water barrel or purchase a complete rain water harvesting system. It is stunning to see how much water you really can collect using this method. It is a great way to have a gorgeous garden while still been responsible about your water use.
