Containers of that size should be adequate. Make sure you use a soilless potting mix rather than garden soil, which tend to be heavy and get compacted in a container) and put the plants in a sunny spot. Also, you may need to monitor soil (or potting mix, rather) moisture and temperature more with a container than you do with in-ground planting.
