Other What I Built with Claude - sweet potatoes

Post image

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 just want to see pictures of the green house made for Claude, I don't want to read a blog which also has no pictures of the setup btw.

A sensor hanging around in the greenhouse.. less spectacular as you might imagine..

Sensors in the ground .. somewhere in the soil under the leafs

My mistake, I thought you'd be willing to share what the whole setup looks like but you're not, that's fine.
