The blue salvia in the back needed much TLC, so I repotted it while I was at. Giving it a shot: 2 types of tomatoes, jalapeño, and yellow peppers. There is so much more I want to plant. I’m hesitant bc I have tendency to kill plants. I’m in Zone 9b, so it’s hot. I’m going add mulch and replace cages for tomatoes.

I’m in 10b so I know generally your weather. The thing about fabric pots is that they are a little trickier to keep watered. The outsides/bottom tend to wick the water and dry out where a plastic pot tends to mostly dry at the top. Dont be afraid to water a little more often than you might think if things are looking droopy!
You can also ‘roll down’ the fabric pots like the legs of denim jeans if its helpful. I do that with my potatoes and then add more soil later and unroll them. Have fun. Good luck with your garden!
I had the same color of fabric pots many years ago. Had to eventually slide them into proper pots to hide stains and discoloration and improve water retention so I didn’t have to water frequently. The roaches also liked feeding through the fabric at night since my potting mix had a lot of organic material like coffee grounds.
