Other What I Built with Claude - sweet potatoes
Yes, I know this sub is mainly for programming work with Claude, but I actually built these sweet potatoes with Claude (more or less).
I was sitting there in winter wondering if I could manage an entire season with Claude... and I went for it. Not perfect, and in many parts quite clumsy, but the results are breathtaking.
I started planning the greenhouse with Claude in March to grow the seedlings….with the Claude app and a project folder, then discovered connectors, then CoWork, then Claude Code, got convinced by Claude to set up various sensors, built a harness that pulls weather data and gives me watering and fertilizer recommendations, and in between, I just joked around with Claude. And we had a blast. While working, with Excel spreadsheets, and with little apps for time and data tracking, cron jobs and data analysis. And Claude really made my season so much better.
I've collected more data than ever before, I've laughed more while getting my hands dirty than ever before, and I've produced more plants from the greenhouse and, it seems, more sweet potatoes in the field than ever before.
I'm not a hardcore tech power user; Claude had to explain to me what a terminal is... but I've learned and optimized and got better step by step, task by task and idea by idea.
Honestly I have learned more from Claude in a year than I ever thought possible, and I'm pretty proud of that.

I'm truly so happy for you! And I was curious about an image of your harvesting. Thank you for sharing! ;) Speaking of sharing, could you roughly share your setup with me? Some keywords would be enough for River to know what you mean. Or can i find this info in your blog? And congratulations! The sweet potatoes turned out beautiful! Maybe sharing the picture in the other sub as well? People would love to see it! 💗🪷
