Quick note: you can give the eggplants a break by covering them with Reemay (row cover cloth: white and quite porous to non-flea beetles). This trick has worked really well, giving young eggplants a chance to get big enough to the point the beetles won't kill them. Used the same approach to give cabbages a break from rabbits or mice, and to shelter new plantings needing time to adjust to the hot weather.
