You don't want to grow different types of corn too close together,
right? Cross-pollination being the problem.

What about tomatoes and peppers? I seem to remember hearing
something
about getting super-hot bell peppers and mild habaneros if you grow
the two too close to one another.

Can you grow, say, roma tomatoes next to grape tomatoes?

Tomatoes are largely self-pollinated. The stamens surround the ovary
in such a way that the pollen can't help but land on the ovary.
Determined insects might be able to upset this system. In this latter
case, the other responder points out correctly that the
characteristics of the tomato are not affected by the any cross, just
the seeds.
