this is a question i was wondering. if one has two plants with very strong gene lines, what would happen if you attempted to pollinate 1 female with males from each plant with strong gene line? i know this sounds off the wall!

Might as well let the bees do it if you are using males from 2 different plants.

Each seed is formed from one egg and one single grain of pollen. You would get some seeds of each cross, the problem would be you couldn't tell which seed was pollinated with which male. You'd be better off to grow two pumpkins pollinating one with males from one plant and one with males from other plant, if you want to make two crosses.
