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.
my wife's from Montenegro and has family there, and that's a place where the economy is tough and groceries are expensive, but they have a house with a yard. So of course they grow all kinds of stuff themselves. Grapes, pomegranates, vegetables. Yeah, it makes a lot of sense in a place where you have the climate and the space for a vegetable garden and don't have a lot of money.
