Jeannine,
Your dare sounds interesting. I might be up for the challenge but I have already started too many seeds. If you are okay with a year delay in the challenge I have a possible dare/trade for you.
I bought one (yes one only) giant pumpkin seed at last years Puyallup Fair. If I read it correctly the seed is from an 815 pound fruit from 2009. It is from a 936 pound cross with a 1467 pound pumpkin in 2008. I do not know how long pumpkin seeds are viable. I also have no place to grow regular winter squash let alone a giant pumpkin. Interested??
