Nan,

Nothing yet, been lucky so far. We do have some pests, and you can see some holes if you look close -but not too bad. The worst attacks have been on the cucumbers, small yellow and black bugs (like skinny beetles) have attacked the small transplants, completely eating the leaves, and I've lost at least 6-7. You can see in the cuke picture, tiny holes on the leaves -but this one seems to have outgrown it. Used insecticidal soap on the others, and it helps a bit, but short term.

One unexpected drawback of the thick/lush growth is, plants tightly packed together allow the little bugs to go unnoticed, hidden under the foliage, and harder to spray. But that was a nice problem to have.
