Solution

Yes.
Ladies finger, tomato and pea be grown in single pot.
Precuatinos are
1

Soak the snap peas in water for 24 hours before planting. This helps the roots break through the hard shell of the seeds.

2

Start the tomato seeds inside at the same time, four to six weeks before you plan on planting them outside. Tomatoes ripen between 68 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit. By the time the snap peas are about ready to give their last crop, the tomatoes will be ready to go in the ground.

3

Measure the end of the trellis that goes in the ground. Tomato vines laden with fruit are heavy and require a secure trellis. If the trellis only has 6 inches or so to be buried in the soil, attach two 2-foot stakes to the bottom of the trellis. Nail the top 6 inches of the stakes to the bottom of the trellis, connecting the two 1 inch up from the bottom and 6 inches up from the bottom of the trellis.

4

Water where the peas and tomatoes will be planted. Push the stakes and trellis 24 inches into the ground.

5

Plant the snap peas on the sunny side of the trellis, 1 inch deep and 6 inches apart. Water, if natural rainfall doesn't reach 1 to 1.5 inches per week. Fertilize with a water-soluble fertilizer when the pea seedlings are 6 inches tall and again at 12 inches tall.

6

Push the seedling's tendrils gently through the trellis, so they snag the trellis or each other. As the peas grow they'll start to cling to the trellis on their own. Continue watering if natural rainfall isn't enough.

7

Plant the tomatoes after the peas have been growing for about four to six weeks. Dig a hole on the sunny side of the trellis about 6 inches away from it. The hole should be as deep and wide as the tomato seedling's container.

8

Cut the peas at ground level when they start looking peaked and yellow. This happens when daytime temperatures start to warm up above 75 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Cutting the pea vines instead of pulling them up doesn't disturb the roots of the tomato plants.

9

Tie the tomato plants with soft twine to the trellis. Leave a gap between the tomato vine, twine and trellis of about 1/2 inch to provide room for the vine to continue to thicken and grow.

Fertilize with water-soluble plant food per package directions every three to four weeks
