Cucumbers and peppers??

I'm glad this forum has a dedicated companion planting area. I am doing a biodynamic (as much as possible) victory garden for the first time after 4-5 years of haphazard careless planting that's yielded mixed results.

I want to put a row of cucumbers next to bell peppers. It's the best option for my small garden. But has anyone had success with that, or read that it should work? I've looked at many charts and there's no mention. On the other side of the cucumbers is Gai Lan, a Chinese broccoli...broccoli is said to be good w/ cukes. There'll be some marigolds around too, maybe some alfalfa to help fix nitrogen but not sure yet.

The soil is double-dug 24" or so deep, the row is ready (and the 5" tall peppers choking in plug packs are impatient :P), so I thank you for suggestions!
