I am going to put tomatoe's and cucumber, can I put some peppers in
among them?

Peppers and tomatoes do execellently together, and cucumbers should be fine too. It is said that cucumbers and tomatoes don't like each other, but we've been growing them together successfully and they did just fine. Add parsley and basil to the mix to improve flavor and growth of peppers and tomatoes. Cucumbers would benefit from dill, but you can't plant dill near tomatoes since Dill attracts the tomato hornworm. So if you want to plant dill to help your cucumbers, make sure it's on the far side of the cucumbers from the tomatoes.
