This year I have a small greenhouse for the first time and am growing
tomatoes, peppers etc. Any handy tips from those who know, on anything to do
with this type of gardening will be greatly appreciated.

My Father always claimed that cucumbers were not compatible with
tomatoes, the reason being that cucumbers love it humid, whereas toms
hate that.

True, but most of us have one greenhouse, and limited facility to control
humidity. I have grown both in the same GH and they've both been acceptable
for our table. Maybe not professional quality, but they still go down a
treat. You can always spray the cukes regularly if you have the time and the
inclination.

I've grown toms and cucs together in an unheated greenhouse for years
and always had good results and good crops. I treat them the same,
feed them the same and water them the same.
Perhaps today's F1 hybrid toms and cucs are more prolific, forgiving
and disease-resistant than those available to your Father.
