@Chris: Thanks!

@Frank: Take a look at this page for some suggestions. McGrath was the editor of Organic Gardening and for years has hosted a call-in radio show (based here on Philly, broadcast online and on NPR affiliates) on organic gardening.
Marsha – thanks for that link. We’d try a few of those things without success, though one of the unsuccessful techniques did seem to work in a previous year.
(didn’t finish my thought) The link you posted has a lot more options for controlling those pests – vacuuming, bug juice, and neem are all new things I hadn’t heard of.
Great photo!
How do you deal with Japanese beetles? They are horrible here. They started on the basil, then the eggplant and now they are after the squash!
