As a gardener, I have to wonder how salsa ever became a thing. My peppers are finally full and productive. Tomatoes peak in August and cilantro is a spring/fall crop.
I always have visions of making salsa with everything from the garden and that is just not happening.

I only ever made Caribougrl's green tomato salsa. And that was because I had a garden full of ripe jalapenos and a garden full of green tomatoes and a freeze coming.
I can't get tomatoes to cooperate at my current house between some kind of leaf rot and the leaf-footed bugs. If I rerouted my sprinkler system to not spray my gardens, and added soakers, I could probably resolve one of those.
But yeah, cilantro likes March for crying out loud! (Actually, if you let it go to seed, it'll come out in mid-February and doesn't care much if it gets a light dusting of snow.)

Here in New England, the tomato/pepper/cilantro season coincides, i.e., late July-August. That's peak pico de gallo time for me.
