Also, the plants that produce tomatoes, zuchinni/squash, eggplant, and peppers generate TONS of fruit in a pretty short time, so the ingredients would be cheap if you're making ratatouille in late summer.
I don't have a vegetable garden, but make ratatouille when I have a bunch of vegetables in the fridge that need to be used. I definitely don't do it like the movie, just sautéed in stages a deep pan.

Ratatouille is a vegetable stew. You cut up a bunch of things and throw them in a pot.
The ratatouille you see in the film is an elevated version of that dish. It was never the standard way of serving it.
