Hi Rodney,
I once read somewhere that corn and tomatoes both suffer from the same
worm pest, but I don't think it was tomato hornworms. It might be the corn
earworm that attacks tomatoes too, not sure...
We had corn separated from tomatoes last year by two rows of jalapeno
peppers, and didn't seem to have too many problems. One concern might be
that both plants have high nutrient needs, so extra feeding might be
necessary. I don't think I would personally try to grow them in a pattern
together like every other one.
Just my two cents,
