Hi Jay,
The only issue We've encountered with interplanting, especially with tomatoes is spacing. Tomatoes tend to overtake anything that is planted within a foot to 18" of them, so you have to make sure to allow enough space around your tomatoes. We tried planting basil with our tomato plants last year, and we got a couple of good harvests off the basil until the tomato plants got too big and then most of the basil died back before we could get enough of the tomato plants pruned back. They got away from us. Just something to keep in mind when planning your spacing.

There's a book that goes into it in a fair amount of detail. I haven't tried anything out of it, but it sounded reasonable and well researched, at least.
Called Carrots Love Tomatoes. Here's a link for it:

As I said - I haven't tried them myself, but it would be worth looking at, at least. I checked out of our local library.

What are peoples experiences with interplanting crops? I was looking at planting lettuce, onions ( green onions), radishes with tomatoes. How does this work? What problems have you encountered/experienced? What other crops work well together, from experience, what crops don't work well.
Thanks
