Probably worth knowing that I'm very new to growing anything at all, my first attempt being some corn that I planted around 2-3 months ago. They've been outdoors for about 3-4 weeks. I was growing them indoors until I realised it wasn't going to work because they're wind pollinated. The packet refers to them as: "sweet corn minipop f1"


First question is what is the smallest pot I can I get away with using?
The pots I've currently got are around 23cm diameter and 14 cm high, I suspect that's too small. My garden is small so don't want to waste space getting pots that are too big.

Next question is, is it possible I could have let them grow for too long without being pollinated? They're about 100cm high soil to highest point, and I see no sign of seeds, which I believe are supposed to appear at the top, with silks lower down between main stem and leaves coming off of it. Could my choice of pot size be limiting the size?
