Cilantro

I love Cilantro in homemade salsa but for the life of me can never get the stuff to grow at the same time that fresh tomatoes are coming in. I've tried planting it almost every month of the year and have had my best results in the cool winter and even late fall months. As soon as I get the first good hot spring days down here it goes to seed. I have even tried planting in shade but all that gives me is smaller plants going to seed. Has anyone had any luck getting a good crop of cilantro during tomato season in the deep south?
