Leave it to a UGA guy to be so unspecific (joking, just joking!).  I'd use
about a five gallon pot per plant and not put more than one plant per pot.
Depending on your location/weather, you may want a dark colored pot to
increase the soil temp.  Personally, here in GA, it would probably end up
cooking the roots.  If you are into inexpensive gardening, stop by a local
restaurant and ask for their old pickle buckets, add some drainage holes in
the bottom and go to it.
Good luck!
