Aphids & Cabbage Worms - Help!

So, last year I had horrible problems w/ cabbage worms on everything - from tomato plants & lettuce to swiss chard & broccoli. My hand could go numb from spraying insecticide & a week later I'd have the same problem. Today we got back from a camping trip & my lettuce is already showing signs of the dreaded worms & I'm sure they're on my tomatoes as well. Also, the aphids are out & on my tomato plants - some of the leaves are even curling already! What would you suggest? I know spraying soapy water should help w/ the aphids but is there anything that will take care of both? I would like to be organic if possible although last year I gave up on being organic in favor of getting any kind of harvest. What can I do now to prevent them from taking over (w/out hand picking for 2 hrs (25 plants) at night)? Thanks!
