Parthenon, a parthenocarpic green zucchini, might be a solution for you guys. The seeds are 4x the price of other hybrid, though. It did work fine for me last season in a hoophouse. Zucchini all season long from a single planting, with practically no reject.

don't know Zephyr. I've seen that commonly at 3-6".

I've had poor luck with unassisted pollination of zucchini in my hoop houses,
despite their being next to the open sides. I'll be trying to help things
along this year.

I have Zephyr squash in the hoop. The ends of the fruit are rotting off when
the fruit is about 4-8" long. The fruit are also mostly skinny. My guess is
a pollination problem. Am I correct or do I have a bigger problem?
