Hi everyone, I will grow corn for the first time this year and I have several questions. I'm in zone 8B, but my garden is really small and the places that get full sun are even smaller, in fact the full sun zone is mostly occupied by the deck, and I'm not sure if one can grow corn in a container... Even if it's possible, it will probaby require too much watering and I'm not there all summer.

Is it okay if the corn recieves about 8h of sun? because I read that 10h are required...

Another thing is I have three different corn seeds, that my mother brought from her trip to Peru, but I don't know their names. One is gigantic (as big as a coin) and white, non sweet, an other is dark purple, way smaller and sweet, and the last looks like a tooth with it's root, it's elongated. If I grow them close to each other, can they cross pollinate? should I only grow one type?

Thanks a lot!
