$17.99 for one bag?
Here in UK, the first supplier I looked up had 3 for £9.99
And of course there’s Amazon, with many similar products at significantly better prices.

Made for both indoor and outdoor planting, they’re perfect for patios, small gardens, balconies, sunrooms, or really any convenient outdoor space.

Will work ok-ish for your warm season gardening.
Will likely freeze, and depending where you live, freeze all the way through, for “cool” season gardening.
YMMV.
No matter how well you water the plants growing in one of those, in a cold snap, the plants are likely to get frostbitten or “cold injury”… even ones like kale, snow peas, etc. because the side of the bag–containing the root zone of the plant–is not insulated. Even cold weather greens etc. benefit from growing in the ground, where earth-coupled thermal buffering is a natural.
I suppose you could try insulating the bags outdoors if they can’t be brought indoors prior to a hard freeze.
Caveat emptor.
