Generally speaking, my luck with the cucurbit family is pretty awful. Between squash bugs, vine borers, and CMV I can pretty much count on my season being very short lived. I've not grown the Armenian types specifically, so can't speak to that. I've heard that the Japanese soarer cukes from Kitazawa are rather resistant.
This year I am trying a moschato squash, Corinto cucumber (gynoecious and parthenocarpic), and some cousa squash to see if any fare better than those I've tried in the past. I am also planting some melons but highly doubt I will get to actually enjoy any fruit. Figured I'd try just in case!!
Good luck in your search!
