Cascade Village Blue is an open-pollinated tomato variety originally bred by Tom Wagner of Everett, Washington who crossed an indigo type tomato with his famous Green Zebra tomato.
Indeterminate vines produce excellent yields of round, purple-skinned, red-fleshed fruits that weigh around 3 ounces each.
The bottoms of the fruits will turn red when the tomatoes are fully ripe. Flavor is tart and sweet.

Hardiness Zones: 3 to 11 Light Requirement: Full Sun Soil Type: Fertile, well-drained Sow Depth: 1/4 inch Plant Spacing: 36 inches Germination Temp: 65°F to 85°F Germination Time: 6 to 8 days Maturation: 75 days Growing Tips
Start tomatoes indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last spring frost, sowing the seeds 1/4 inch deep in a seed flat or cell tray. Use a heat mat to keep the soil temperature between 70-75°F and a humidity dome to ensure the soil stays moist between watering. Germination should occur within 6 to 8 days.
Transplant the seedlings into individual pots once they have grown their second set of leaves, and be sure to bury the stems up to the lower set of leaves to promote strong root growth.
When the outside soil temperature has reached a minimum of 70°F, plant the seedlings at least 2 feet apart in a location with full sun and very rich soil. Water frequently, and be sure to protect the plants if temperatures drop below 55°F.
