Overview
Sure Thing is a parthenocarpic hybrid zucchini from W. Atlee Burpee (1999), meaning it sets fruit without pollination. That is its main selling point: it keeps producing medium-sized fruit through cool, cloudy stretches when bees are scarce and other zucchini drop their fruit. It also works well under row covers or in early plantings. First harvest comes around 48 days.
