 Wow, nematodes sound like some awful big bug.  What in the world
 are they?  Never heard of them.

Trudy,

TS>Wow, nematodes sound like some awful big bug.  What in the world
TS>are they?  Never heard of them.

    Actually they aren't that big.
    nematode, (nŠm´e-tod´) member of a phylum (Nematoda) that 
comprises the roundworms. Nematodes live in the water or soil. Many 
species, such as pinworms and hookworms, are parasites of plants and 
animals, including humans. Some parasitic nematodes are used as 
biological pesticides to control insect pests.

 Yes, the light could be so much less now then when the tomatoes
 were getting 10 hours or so of sunlight during the summer months.
 The heat is also a factor because we don't keep our homes as hot
 as it can be in summer outdoors.  Mites?  Never had o deal with
 them.  Good luck.
