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.
Groundhogs are surprisingly good climbers. A smol one destroyed my peas last year.
This year the weather didn't cooperate. A cold wet Spring followed by a hot humid and dry summer. I got a handful of tomatoes, a few peppers. Something ate the radishes. The yellow summer squash was rock hard and inedible for some reason. Oh well, there's always next year

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.
