My children and I are growing corn and seem to be doing rather well.
Roughly 10 planted and so far 5 have tassels.
Our problem is they are all male, will they bear cobs if there are no
females at all?

There is no male or female in sweet corn. If conditions are right ears will
appear when the tassels start blooming.

Seriously? I think you're putting us on but, if not, how do you tell
they're all male?
