what kind of bugs? aphids?
if you have stinkbugs, potato beetles, or hornworms, you can hand pick them and drop them in soapy water, then crush eggs with your fingers (EW!). Be sure to look under the leaves.
Failing this, pyrethrins are an effective and organic solution to many pests. keep garden areas free of debris, never plant tomatoes in the same area 2 years in a row, and encourage beneficial insects like wasps, ladybugs, praying mantis...
Organic Pest and Weed Control is a good reference with pictures of the good bugs and the baddies.
good luck!
