hello everyone, i'm trying to make a plan of what veg i can grow were for this year. can you plant sweetcorn, tomato's and cucumbers all together ?? please help

No, I'd separate all of these. corn is extremely hungry and will take all the soil nutrients from the other two which will then yield poorly. Corn will also overshadow the toms which need as much sun as possible. Cukes will crawl everywhere and shade the others. You might be thinking of the 3 sisters planting but that requires very specific varieties of those plants in order to properly work.

Ive heard of companion planting with sweetcorn but never tried it myself. Would not want to upset my precious sweetcorn in anyway.

When i first started growing one old boy gave me a tip 'dont over crowd stuff'  ive never forgot this and normally have good crops of the stuff i grow.

you can plant lettuce in between the rows of sweet corn as they will finish well before the corn has done anything.
