Don't do what I did and plant every plant you've grown. I found I stained a lot of t-shirts pushing through the tomato forest to reach the fruit at the back!!
I have a 10' x 10' polytunnel with a path running down the middle. So this year I have the following:
Left side: 8 tomatoes, all cordon bar 1. 3 San Marzano, 1 Apero cherry, 1 Giulletta (plum), 1 Elegance, 1 Belriccio, 1 Principe Borghese (bush). That's plenty for one side of the tunnel. I dot a few French Marigold plants around to allegedly help with whitefly. There will be some basil in there at some point as well.
Right side: 2 cukes, 3 melons, 8 peppers, 1 aubergine, 12 chillies of assorted varieties. There's also 3 sweetcorn plants in there, which will be ready early June and therefore out of the way to give extra space for other things to expand into.
Hope that gives you an idea.
