yes. They will grow just fine. You need to match potting mix amount to the veggies requiremennts For containers. Raised beds, are more like a conventional garden.
Potted plants and vegetables dry out quicker in pots. You will also need large, minimum 5 gallon, for tomatoes and peppers. Because some need large pots, the cost of garden soil - do not use potting soil - will be expensive. You can do it, many do, it is just less forgiving than a garden or raised beds.
Yes, they sure do! My raised bed vegetable garden produces more vegetables than if I chose to grow them in the ground, mostly because the soil in my area is a hard clay. The raised beds are filled with soil and compost and manure so they are easier for me to amend and keep nutrient levels high for my vegetables.
